CONT

Les catalyseurs basiques sont beaucoup moins utilisés industriellement que les catalyseurs acides. Ils interviennent néanmoins dans la fabrication de certains copolymères, comme par exemple sous forme d'amines dans la fabrication de mousses de polyuréthannes à partir d'isocyanates ou encore dans la formation de certaines résines phénolformaldéhyde.
