Chemical Properties
clear pale yellow to yellow liquid
Uses
As as stabilizer in chlorinated organics, and as a catalyst for condensation reactions.Di-n-butyltin diacetate is used as a stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride. It acts as a catalyst for the preparation of silicone and urethane foams. Further, it is used as a curing agent for silicone elastomers. In addition to this, it is used as a precursor for thin-film tin(IV) oxide gas sensing materials by laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition.
Uses
PU catalyst, RTV silicone rubber
General Description
Clear yellow liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Forms white precipitate in water. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Dibutyltin diacetate is stable under normal laboratory conditions. Dibutyltin diacetate may react with oxidizers. . Strongly reactive with many other groups. Incompatible with acids and bases. Organometallics are good reducing agents and therefore incompatible with oxidizing agents.
Fire Hazard
Dibutyltin diacetate is combustible.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and
intravenous routes. Experimental
reproductive effects. Combustible when
exposed to heat or flame; can react with
oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use water,
foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes. See also TIN
COMPOUNDS.
