Zinc neodecanoate
What is Zinc neodecanoate?
Zinc neodecanoate (CAS 27253-29-8), also known as neodecanoic acid zinc salt, is an organozinc compound used industrially as a catalyst, crosslinking agent, and lubricant additive.
Where is Zinc neodecanoate used?
- Coatings and sealants: cure catalyst for moisture-curable silicone and polyurethane systems, accelerating crosslink formation without organotin toxicity
- PVC and thermoplastics: stabilizer and processing aid managing thermal degradation
- Lubricants: extreme-pressure and anti-wear additive in metalworking fluids
- Adhesives: crosslinking promoter in reactive systems for structural bonding
- Its zinc reactivity and branched neodecanoate ligand give controlled metal delivery with organic solubility.
Commercial specifications
- Liquid or viscous solution in hydrocarbon or mineral spirit carriers
- Zinc content varies by grade, expressed as percentage by weight
- Bulk and drummed supply formats
