Stannous Octoate T9, identified by its CAS number 301-10-0, stands as a cornerstone in modern chemical manufacturing, particularly as a highly effective catalyst. As a leading product from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., this versatile compound is engineered to meet the stringent demands of various industries, ensuring superior performance and reliability in end-user applications.

This inorganic tin carboxylate, often referred to as tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate or stannous octanoate, presents as a light yellow, clear liquid. Its molecular formula is C16H30O4Sn, and it is registered under EINECS 206-108-6. Key specifications for Stannous Octoate T9 underscore its high purity and catalytic potency. It typically boasts a tin content of no less than 28.0% and a stannous content of at least 27.5%. Its physical properties include a viscosity of up to 360 mPa.s at 25°C, a density ranging from 1.23-1.27 g/ml, and a refractive index between 1.490-1.500. With a flash point exceeding 110°C, it maintains stability under typical processing conditions.

The primary application for Stannous Octoate T9 is as a high-efficiency gel catalyst for polyurethane foams. It is the workhorse in the production of flexible slabstock foams, where it plays a critical role in accelerating the gelation reaction between polyols and isocyanates. By precisely controlling its concentration in the formulation, manufacturers can achieve the optimal balance between the gelling and blowing reactions, which is essential for producing foams with desired cell structure and physical properties. This makes it indispensable for products ranging from furniture and bedding to carpet applications.

Beyond foams, Stannous Octoate T9 extends its catalytic prowess to a wide array of other polymeric systems. It serves as an excellent catalyst for polyurethane coatings, elastomers, and room-temperature cured silicone rubber (RTV silicones), enabling faster curing times and enhanced product performance. Its utility also spans esterification reactions, where it promotes efficient conversion. Furthermore, it finds use as a lubricant additive, an anti-aging agent, and a stabilizer for transformer oils, showcasing its multifaceted industrial relevance. Its ability to act as an adhesion promoter is also noted, particularly in the rubber industry, enhancing bonding in applications such as radial tires.

An increasingly significant application for Stannous Octoate T9 is its role as a polymerization initiator in polylactic acid (PLA) production. As a biodegradable plastic, PLA is crucial for sustainable solutions in biomedical polymers and environmentally friendly materials. Stannous Octoate T9 catalyzes the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters, facilitating the creation of these important biopolymers with precisely controlled properties.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that its Stannous Octoate T9 delivers consistent and reliable performance. One notable advantage of this tin(II) compound is its unique behavior: after the foaming process, it can be oxidized to a tetravalent tin compound, remaining within the foam body to act as an antioxidant. This characteristic helps maintain the long-term performance and integrity of the finished product without adverse effects. Our commitment to rigorous quality control standards guarantees a product with uniform tin levels and a performance that does not impart undesirable color or odor to the final material.

When handling Stannous Octoate T9, it is crucial to adhere to professional hygiene and safety procedures. While it offers immense industrial benefits, it is essential to consult the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for detailed information on safe handling, storage, and protective measures.
