Description

Dibutyltin, 2,2,2-Trifluoroacetic Acid is a specialized organotin compound where a dibutyltin moiety is coordinated with trifluoroacetic acid. This combination yields a material with unique reactivity, making it valuable as a catalyst and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily sought after by R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors for applications requiring precise Lewis acid catalysis or fluorinated building blocks.

Application

• Catalyst for Polyurethane and Silicone Production: Acts as a potent catalyst in the formation of polyurethane foams, elastomers, and in the curing of silicone polymers.
• Esterification and Transesterification Catalyst: Used to facilitate esterification and transesterification reactions in the synthesis of plasticizers, biodiesel, and specialty esters.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block or catalyst in the synthesis of complex, fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Stabilizer for PVC: Functions as a heat and light stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) formulations, improving material longevity.
• Cross-linking Agent: Employed in coatings, adhesives, and sealants to promote cross-linking and enhance final product properties.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for developing new catalytic processes and organometallic chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Dibutyltin, 2,2,2-Trifluoroacetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
