Reaxis®  C248DP - Dibutyltin Oxide/Plasticizer Blend

Request A Sample Download The Technical Data Sheet

Overview

REAXIS® C248DP (Dibutyltin Oxide + Plasticizer) is a liquid version of dibutyltin oxide, also known as DBTO, which contains a high molecular weight phthalate-based plasticizer.  This variant of dibutyltin oxide contains 40% of the active tin content compared to the solid version of DBTO, REAXIS® C248. Other liquid versions of dibutyltin oxide using both phthalates and non-phthalates as the diluent include REAXIS® C248D and REAXIS® C248DN(“phthalate-free” version). Liquid versions of DBTO-based silanes include REAXIS® C248VM and REAXIS® C248T. Other liquid grades of dibutyltin oxide are available upon request.

Applications

REAXIS® C248DP and its alternatives can be used as a homogenous tin catalyst in a wide spectrum of silicone applications including adhesives & sealants and coatings. Silicone-based applications include: acetoxy-, ethoxy- and oxime-based Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) adhesives and sealants, polyethylene crosslinked silanes (PEX), and select silane-modified polymers (SMPs).  REAXIS® C248DP is commonly used with formulations based on SMP resins such as MS Polymer®.  REAXIS® C248DP is on a broad range of international regulatory lists and is thus an ideal candidate for global formulation development.

Reactivity

Given its high tin content, liquid form, small ligand, and good compatibility with a wide range of raw materials, REAXIS® C248DP tends to be a highly reactive catalyst across a broad range of silicone formulations. In regard to silicone reactions, REAXIS® C248DP, like all tin-based catalysts, will catalyze the silanol/silane condensation reaction thus acting as both a polymerization and crosslinking catalyst. In addition to reactivity, REAXIS® C248DP is more hydrolytically stable toward condensation-generated moisture. Reactivity-wise, REAXIS® C248D, REAXIS® C226, and REAXIS® C248DN would be similar. 

Package & Storage

  • 44 lb (20 kg) pails
  • 485 lb (220 kg) drums
  • 2425lb (1100kg) IBC

REAXIS® C248DP should be stored in the original packaging. The container should be closed tightly after each use to maximize shelf life.
