Q1: What is the CAS Number for Dibutyltin Dilaurate?
A: The CAS Registry Number is 77-58-7.
Q2: What is the typical usage level in polyurethane foam formulations?
A: Standard dosage ranges from 0.05 to 0.3 phr (parts per hundred resin), depending on desired cream/gel times and system reactivity; always validate via small-scale trials.
Q3: How does Dibutyltin Dilaurate compare to Dibutyltin Diacetate or Stannous Octoate?
A: DBTDL offers higher thermal stability and lower volatility than stannous octoate, and greater selectivity for urethane formation versus side reactions compared to dibutyltin diacetate; it is less hydrolytically sensitive than acetate variants.
Q4: Is Dibutyltin Dilaurate subject to migration or extraction concerns in end-use applications?
A: Yes—organotin compounds may migrate under prolonged contact with polar media (e.g., water, food simulants); not approved for direct food-contact applications per FDA 21 CFR or EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 without full migration testing and compliance verification.
Q5: Does this product meet RoHS or REACH SVHC requirements?
A: Dibutyltin Dilaurate is listed in the REACH Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) due to its toxicity to reproduction (Category 1B); however, it remains authorized for industrial use under strict exposure controls and risk management measures as defined in REACH Annex XIV.
