Request A Sample Download The Technical Data Sheet

Overview

REAXIS® C125 (Stannous Neodecanoate), also commonly known as Tin bis-(neodecanoate) or Tin Neodecanoate, is an inorganic tin carboxylate with a moderate metal content. Stannous Neodecanoate is an ideal tin chemical candidate when looking for alternatives for organotins, such as REAXIS® C218 (Dibutyl Tin Dilaurate) and REAXIS® C248 (Dibutyl Tin Oxide), and is used as a homogenous tin catalyst in polyurethane, silicone, and esterification applications. Given its inorganic tin nature, REAXIS® C125 can be used in high-temperature specialty chemical applications. This Stannous Neodecanoate catalyst is typically supplied in a neat form with excess free acid typically in higher concentrations when compared to REAXIS® C129 (Stannous Octoate). REAXIS® C125 is stable with various diluents including plasticizers, polyols, esters, and mineral oils. Similar inorganic tin products would be REAXIS® C129 (Stannous Octoate), and REAXIS® C114 (Stannous Oleate).

Applications

REAXIS® C125 is typically used in various tin catalyst applications.  REAXIS® C125 is used as a homogeneous Stannous Neodecanoate catalyst in polyurethane, silicone (condensation reaction) and esterification chemistries in a wide range of applications including lubricants, coatings, adhesives and sealants, elastomers, and foams

Reactivity

As is typical of most organotin and inorganic tin catalysts, the specific ligand in addition to the tin metal concentration contributes a major influence on overall reactivity. Similar to organotins, inorganics tins are more selective to NCO/OH reactions and are thus good gelation/polymerizations catalysts. Stannous Neodecanoate has proven to be a viable replacement for other inorganic tin carboxylates such as REAXIS® C129 in a wide range of polyurethane applications.  For catalyzing silicone condensations, REAXIS® C125 exhibits faster reactivity when compared to REAXIS® C218 in select acetoxy- and alkoxy-based formulations. In regards to stability, inorganic tins like REAXIS® C125 show greater sensitivity to oxidation degradation when compared to organotins. This latter effect is due to the presence of the Sn(II) species present in all inorganic tin products.  Depending on formulation, REAXIS® C125 can provide increased hydrolytic stability compared to REAXIS® C129 (Stannous Octoate) due to the presence of a larger ligand. 

Package & Storage

  • 55 lb (25 kg) plastic pail
  • 485 lb (220 kg) steel drum

REAXIS® C125 should be stored in the original packaging.  The container should be closed tightly after each use to maximize shelf life. Characteristic of most inorganic tins (Sn(II)), the primary cause of instability would be oxidation.
