08FAQ
Tin Stabilizers: frequently asked
Why would I pick a tin stabilizer over Ca/Zn?
Tin stabilizers are typically chosen where clarity and high heat efficiency are priorities. Ca/Zn is chosen where tin is not wanted or lead-free, tin-free formulation is required.
Do octyl and butyl tins differ in regulation?
Regulatory treatment of organotins differs by compound and end use. Please verify the requirements for your product and market.
