Abstract
The moisture resistance reliability of a latent catalyst is evaluated for a phosphonium borate wherein at least one group pendant on the boron atom is a group formed when a proton donor having at least one proton capable of being liberated out of the molecule has liberated one or at least two protons, the evaluation comprising (1) mixing one gram of the proton donor wherefrom the latent catalyst is derived with 50 grams of purified water to obtain an aqueous mixture, (3) subjecting the aqueous mixture to pressure cooker treatment at a temperature of 125° C. for 20 hours in a pressure cooker vessel to obtain an extraction mixture, and (4) measuring the electrical conductivity of the extraction mixture wherein the acceptable electrical conductivity of the extraction mixture is no greater than 1,000 &mgr;S/cm.
