FASCAT® 8201

Dioctyltin oxide. Acts as a crosslinking catalyst. It is insoluble in water and most common organic solvents. It is an active transesterification catalyst for methacrylate esters. It offers energy savings due to lower reaction temperatures, as well as more efficient use of equipment. It forms a stable dispersion for aqueous coating applications and can significantly shorten transesterification production cycle times for specialty acrylate monomers. Used in select high temperature transesterification reactions for the production of coating resins. Also finds significant use in the aqueous cathodic electrodeposition of urethane coatings for automotive and industrial applications.
