Reaxis® C319 - Dibutyltin Dilauryl Mercaptide
Request A Sample Download The Technical Data SheetOverview
REAXIS® C319 (Dibutyltin Dilauryl Mercaptide), also known as Di-N bis-(Dodecylthio)Tin or Dibutyl bis-(Dodecylthio) Stannane, is a butyl-based dialkyl organotin with added functionality. REAXIS® C319 has the characteristic reactivity of a Sn (IV) organotin catalyst with improved upfront delay and improved hydrolytic stability due to the presence of a ligand with thiol functionality. Used primarily in polyurethanes, Dibutyltin Dilauryl Mercaptide imparts more controlled reactivity when compared to standard metal carboxylates such as REAXIS® C218 (Dibutyltin Dilaurate), REAXIS® C216 (Dioctyltin Dilaurate), and REAXIS® C325 (Dimethyltin Dineodecanoate). Tin catalysts similar to Dibutyltin Dilauryl Mercaptide include REAXIS® C320 (Dioctyltin Dilauryl Mercaptide), REAXIS® C214 (Dioctyltin bis-(isooctyl Mercaptoacetate) and its isomer, REAXIS® C416 (Dioctyltin bis-(2-Ethylhexyl Mercaptocetate)). REAXIS® C319 is a commonly used Dibutyltin Dilauryl Mercaptide commercial catalyst that is present on most global inventory lists.

Applications
Unlike standard organotin carboxylates, sulfur-bearing organotins are primarily used as a catalyst for polyurethanes. Catalysts such as REAXIS® C319 tend to be inactive in regard to reactivity when used in silicone and esterification-related applications. Since the sulfur ligand acts as a blocking agent, thermal deblocking is required to initiate the back-end cure. Thus, catalysts such as Dibutyltin Dilauryl Mercaptide tend to perform best in adhesive, elastomer, and foam applications with adequate exotherms. For coatings applications, REAXIS® C319 can be used in baked cured systems in contrast to ambient cured systems.
Reactivity
As is typical of most organotin and inorganic tin catalysts, the specific ligand and addition to metal concentration contribute a major influence on overall reactivity. This is specifically highlighted in regard to sulfur-bearing ligands. In general, these sulfur ligands impart improved front-end delay and hydrolytic stability versus standard tin carboxylates. Standard ligands include thiols, mercaptides and mercaptoacetates. Reactivity as defined by delay, thermal availability, hydrolytic stability, and final cure will depend on the specific ligand, tin content, alkyl group and, most importantly, other raw materials used in the specific polyurethane formulation. As REAXIS® C319 is a mercaptan-based catalyst, its delay should be less pronounced compared to mercaptoacetates such as REAXIS® C416, REAXIS® C214, and REAXIS® C322. In regard to the reactivity of the various urethane reactions, catalysts like dibutyltin dilauryl mercaptide will selectively catalyze the isocyanate-polyol reaction, with less of an effect on the water reaction.
Package & Storage
- 44 lb (20 kg) plastic pail
- 440 lb (200 kg) steel drum
REAXIS® C319 should be stored in the original packaging at moderate temperatures and kept from freezing. The container should be closed tightly after each use to maximize shelf life. Characteristic of most Sn (IV) organotins, the primary cause of instability would be hydrolysis. Although more stable compared to organotin carboxylates, long term contact with moisture could result in hydrolysis with the formation of tin oxide insolubles leading to deactivation of REAXIS® C319.
