Q1: What is the CAS Number for Dioctyltin Dichloride?
A: The CAS Registry Number is 301-10-0.
Q2: What is the typical usage level in silicone rubber formulations?
A: Recommended dosage ranges from 5 to 50 ppm (parts per million) relative to total formulation mass, depending on cure speed requirements and inhibitor presence.
Q3: How does Dioctyltin Dichloride compare to Dibutyltin Dilaurate (DBTDL) in catalytic performance?
A: Dioctyltin dichloride offers higher thermal stability and lower volatility than DBTDL, but exhibits slower initial reactivity in ambient-cure systems; it is preferred for high-temperature processing where catalyst retention is critical.
Q4: Is Dioctyltin Dichloride compliant with food-contact regulations?
A: No — it is not authorized for direct food-contact applications under FDA 21 CFR or EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 due to organotin toxicity concerns and lack of migration testing data.
Q5: Can leaching or tin migration occur from cured products containing this compound?
A: Yes — residual unreacted dioctyltin dichloride may migrate under humid or acidic conditions; full thermal post-cure and rigorous extraction testing (e.g., EN 13130) are strongly advised for end-use validation.
