What is Lead(2+) octanoate?
Lead(2+) octanoate (CAS 7319-86-0), commercially known as lead octoate, is an organolead carboxylate used as a metal catalyst and drier in industrial processing.
Where is Lead(2+) octanoate used?
- Plastics and polymers: stabilizer and catalyst precursor in PVC compounding and resin cure systems
- Rubber and tires: vulcanization accelerator and cross-linking agent that promotes sulfur-based cure networks in technical rubber compounds
- Lubricants and metalworking: extreme-pressure additive precursor and boundary lubrication component in grease and cutting fluid systems
- In alkyd-based industrial coatings it serves as a drier catalyst, accelerating oxidative cure of oil-modified resin films.
Commercial specifications
- Liquid solution, 36% concentration as the most recognized commercial grade
- Bulk supply in drums or IBC containers aligned with hazardous materials handling requirements for heavy metal compounds
Other Names (Synonyms)
