Q1: What is the CAS number for Monobutyltin Oxide?
A: The CAS Registry Number for Monobutyltin Oxide is 818-08-6.
Q2: What is the typical usage level in PVC heat stabilization?
A: In combination with co-stabilizers (e.g., Ca/Zn soaps), recommended dosage ranges from 0.3 to 1.2 parts per hundred resin (phr), depending on processing temperature and end-use requirements.
Q3: How does Monobutyltin Oxide compare to Dibutyltin Oxide in terms of regulatory acceptance and migration potential?
A: Monobutyltin Oxide exhibits significantly lower bioaccumulation potential and reduced leaching in food-contact applications versus dibutyltin analogues; it is not classified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) under EU REACH, and meets FDA 21 CFR §178.2010 for indirect food additives when used within specified limits.
Q4: Is Monobutyltin Oxide compliant with RoHS and ELV directives?
A: Yes — Monobutyltin Oxide contains no restricted heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr⁶⁺) and is exempt from RoHS Annex II concentration limits for tin compounds; it complies with ELV Directive 2000/53/EC for automotive applications when used below 0.1 wt% in homogeneous materials.
