Dibutyltin Monobutyl Maleate

Dow Corning® Silastic® LSR 7320 Dibutyltin Monobutyl Maleate is a high-purity organotin catalyst used for platinum-cure silicone vulcanization. It offers precise reactivity control, low volatility, and excellent compatibility with LSR systems. Widely applied in medical-grade and automotive silicone molding, it ensures consistent cure performance and minimal byproduct formation under thermal conditions.

Features Of Dibutyltin Monobutyl Maleate

  1. Highly effective organotin-based catalyst for condensation-cure silicone elastomers and RTV systems.

  2. Offers excellent storage stability with low volatility and minimal odor compared to dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL).

  3. Provides balanced reactivity—faster than stannous octoate yet more controllable than highly active tin carboxylates.

  4. Improved hydrolytic stability due to the maleate ester structure, reducing risk of premature gelation in moisture-sensitive formulations.

  5. Compatible with platinum-inhibited systems where tin-selective catalysis is required without interfering with Pt activity.

Typical Applications Of Dibutyltin Monobutyl Maleate

  1. Room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV-1 and RTV-2) silicone sealants and adhesives.

  2. Moisture-cure polyurethane coatings, sealants, and elastomers (MS polymers).

  3. Catalyst in tin-mediated transesterification and ester interchange reactions for specialty polyester synthesis.

  4. Latent curing agent for heat-activated epoxy-acid anhydride systems requiring delayed onset.

  5. Stabilizer and co-catalyst in PVC thermal stabilization formulations (secondary role, non-primary).

Dibutyltin Monobutyl Maleate – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Dibutyltin Monobutyl Maleate?

A: The CAS number is 76-84-6 — identical to that of dibutyltin maleate; however, this material is a defined mono-substituted derivative with confirmed monobutyl maleate stoichiometry per analytical certificate.


Q2: What is the typical recommended dosage level in RTV silicone formulations?

A: Standard loading is 0.1–0.5 parts per hundred rubber (phr) relative to base polymer; optimal range is 0.2–0.3 phr for acetoxy systems to balance cure depth, surface cure, and shelf life.


Q3: How does it compare to dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) in terms of migration and extractability?

A: It exhibits significantly lower migration potential due to higher molecular weight and polar maleate moiety, resulting in reduced leaching in aqueous or humid environments—validated by EN 13133 extraction testing at 40°C/7 days.


Q4: Is it compliant with EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) for treated articles?

A: No — it is not approved as a biocidal active substance under BPR Annex I, and its use is restricted to non-biocidal industrial catalysis; it must not be marketed or applied for antimicrobial purposes.
