Stannous Octoate Application scenarios
1. Polyurethane Industry
As a key catalyst in the production of polyurethane foam, it primarily promotes the “gelation reaction” (i.e., the chain growth reaction of isocyanate and polyol) during the foaming process.
2. Other Polymer Synthesis
Used as a catalyst in the synthesis of various polymer materials, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and its copolymers, polycaprolactone (PCL), polycarbonate, polyamide, and polyester.
3.生物医学材料
Applied in the field of biodegradable medical materials, such as catalyzing the synthesis of polycaprolactone scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, polymer nanoparticles for drug delivery, and absorbable materials such as surgical sutures.
4. Environment and Recycling
Used as a catalyst in the chemical recycling of waste polyurethane foam to recover and reuse the polyols.
5. Electrochemistry and Nanotechnology
Used as a precursor or additive in the preparation of electrode materials for lithium-ion/sodium-ion batteries (such as SnO2/graphene composites) and in the synthesis of copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) nanocrystals.
6. Silicone Rubber and Coatings
Used as a curing agent for silicone rubber, and as a catalyst in coating and adhesive systems.
