Dibutyltin Oxide

The primary use of Dibutyltin Oxide (DBTO) is in cathodically applied electrodeposition coatings in the automotive industry and for the manufacture of PVC stabilizers. The stabilizers are used to prevent thermal degradation of the PVC while heating during processing and also to reduce deterioration from exposure to ultraviolet light and weathering. DBTO is also used as an intermediate to produce other organotin compounds such as Dibutyltin Dilaurate which is used as a catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams and the “room temperature vulcanization” of silicones. DBTO also finds limited use in certain esterification and transesterification reactions to produce materials such as coating resins.

As a leading producer of organic and inorganic tin intermediates, Gulbrandsen has the capability to supply material with reduced sodium levels in addition to the normal high-purity product that we provide. All of our product is screened to minimize the level of fine powder.
