Unlike standard organotin carboxylates, sulfur-bearing organotins like Dioctyltin Dilauryl Mercaptide are primarily used as a catalyst for polyurethanes. Reactivity of catalysts such REAXIS^® C320, tend to be inactive in silicone and esterification-related applications.   As the sulfur ligand acts as a blocking agent, thermal deblocking is required to initiate the back-end cure. Thus, catalysts such as REAXIS^® C3320 tend to perform best in adhesive, elastomer, and foam applications with adequate exotherms. For coatings applications, REAXIS^® C320 can be used in baked cured systems in contrast to ambient cured systems.

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. 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^® C320 is a mercaptan based catalyst, its delay should be less pronounced compared mercaptoacetates such REAXIS^® C416, REAXIS^® C214, and REAXIS^® C322. In regard to the reactivity of the various urethane reactions, catalysts such as REAXIS^® C320 will selectively catalyze the isocyanate-polyol reaction, with less of an effect on the water reaction. REAXIS^® C320 tends to give longer delay and slower reactivity versus its butyl analogue, REAXIS^® C319.

REAXIS^® C320 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^® C320.
