What is Neodymium neodecanoate?
Neodymium neodecanoate (CAS 106726-11-8) is an organoneodymium carboxylate salt used as a catalyst component and polymerization initiator in industrial chemical processes.
Where is Neodymium neodecanoate used?
- Polymer synthesis: precursor in Ziegler-Natta and rare-earth catalyst systems for high-cis polybutadiene
- Tire manufacturing and rubber compounding: stereoregular elastomers
- Coordination polymerization: precise control over polymer microstructure affecting mechanical performance
- Lubricant additives: metal-working fluids and specialty grease formulations
- Organometallic neodymium compounds contribute to extreme-pressure and friction-modifying performance.
- Research-scale and specialty chemical production: catalyst precursor in synthesis of other neodymium-based organometallic complexes
Commercial specifications
- Viscous liquid solution in hydrocarbon solvents
- Neodymium content specified by weight percentage for accurate dosing
