Commercial applications for dibutyltin dilaurate

Abstract

Dibutyltin dilaurate, (Di‐n‐butyl dilauroyl dioxystannone; (C4H9)2 Sn(OCOC10H20 CH3)2) is a water insoluble oily liquid which can be produced by heating lauric acid with dibutyltin oxide in a molecular ratio of 1:2, for seven hours at 95/100°C. It can also be produced from dibutyltin chloride and sodium laurate.
