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. It delivers controlled reactivity in curing, cross-linking, and polymerization systems where precise metal coordination is required.

In plastics and polymer manufacturing, lead octoate functions as a stabilizer and catalyst precursor in PVC compounding and resin cure systems. The rubber and tire industry uses it as a vulcanization accelerator and cross-linking agent.

It promotes sulfur-based cure networks in technical rubber compounds. In lubricant and metalworking formulations, it acts as an extreme-pressure additive precursor and boundary lubrication component in grease and cutting fluid systems.

It also serves as a drier catalyst in alkyd-based industrial coatings, accelerating oxidative cure of oil-modified resin films. Lead octoate is supplied as a liquid solution, with the 36% concentration being the most recognized commercial grade.

This material is available in technical grade, suitable for catalyst and industrial processing applications. Bulk supply is standard in drums or IBC containers aligned with hazardous materials handling requirements for heavy metal compounds.
