Description

Iron(2+) Isononanoate is a metal carboxylate salt derived from isononanoic acid and ferrous iron. This compound serves as a versatile and effective catalyst and additive, valued for its solubility in organic media and its role in promoting oxidation and polymerization reactions. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the polymer, paint, coating, and specialty chemical industries seeking to accelerate curing processes or modify material properties.

Application

• Polymer Industry: Acts as a catalyst or accelerator in the production of unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) and other thermosetting plastics.
• Paint & Coatings: Used as a siccative (drying agent) in air-drying paints, varnishes, and printing inks to promote film formation through oxidative crosslinking.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Functions as a curing agent or catalyst in various adhesive formulations to enhance bonding strength and reduce cure time.
• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Employed as a component in the formulation of specialty lubricants and greases, where it can act as a friction modifier or stabilizer.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a catalyst or reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in oxidation and carboxylation reactions.
• Wood Treatment: Can be used in preservative or finishing formulations for wood to impart specific properties or accelerate drying.

Quality Control

Our Iron(2+) Isononanoate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as iron content, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize quality degradation.
