Features Of Tetraoctyltin

  1. Highly hydrophobic organotin compound with exceptional thermal stability up to 200 °C.

  2. Low volatility and negligible vapor pressure under ambient processing conditions.

  3. Excellent compatibility with non-polar polymers and organic solvents including mineral oils and plasticizers.

  4. Chemically inert toward common acids, bases, and oxidizing agents under standard storage conditions.

  5. Stable shelf life (>24 months) when stored sealed under nitrogen at room temperature.

Typical Applications Of Tetraoctyltin

  1. Stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds in high-temperature wire & cable formulations.

  2. Catalyst for silicone rubber condensation-cure systems requiring low reactivity and delayed onset.

  3. Intermediate in the synthesis of tin-based biocidal agents and specialty catalysts.

  4. Additive in heat-resistant lubricating greases to enhance oxidative stability and metal passivation.

  5. Functional modifier in organosilicon coatings for improved hydrophobicity and substrate adhesion.

Tetraoctyltin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS number for Tetraoctyltin?

A: The CAS Registry Number for Tetraoctyltin is 1461-25-2.


Q2: What is the typical usage level in PVC stabilization applications?

A: Recommended dosage ranges from 0.2 to 0.8 phr (parts per hundred resin), depending on processing temperature and co-stabilizer synergy.


Q3: How does Tetraoctyltin compare to dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) in silicone curing?

A: Tetraoctyltin offers significantly lower catalytic activity and slower, more controllable cure kinetics—ideal for thick-section or heat-sensitive assemblies where DBTDL would cause premature scorch.


Q4: Is Tetraoctyltin compliant with food-contact regulations?

A: Tetraoctyltin is not approved for direct food-contact applications under FDA 21 CFR or EU Regulation (EC) No 10/2011 due to its organotin structure and lack of migration data for food simulants.


Q5: Does Tetraoctyltin migrate from polymer matrices?

A: Migration potential is very low in non-polar matrices (e.g., PVC, silicones) due to its high molecular weight (MW = 579.6 g/mol) and lipophilicity; however, extraction testing is recommended for end-use validation under intended service conditions.
