Butyltin tris(2-ethylhexanoate)
What is Butyltin tris(2-ethylhexanoate)?
Butyltin tris(2-ethylhexanoate) (CAS 23850-94-4) is an organotin catalyst used in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and polymer systems. Also marketed as Fascat 4102 and Fascat 9201.
Where is Butyltin tris(2-ethylhexanoate) used?
- Moisture-cure and two-component polyurethane sealants: promotes tin-catalyzed urethane bond formation, influencing open time and final mechanical properties
- Silicone elastomers: drives condensation cross-linking, with catalyst loading determining cure depth and surface tack-free time
- Industrial coatings: supports isocyanate-based systems where cure speed and film hardness must meet tight application specifications
- Adhesive formulators working with reactive hot melts or structural bonding systems select it when precise pot life management and bond strength development are required.
Commercial specifications
- Liquid, typically at high tin-content concentrations suited for direct addition to formulations or dilution into solvent-based systems
- Packaging ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers
