Application
Dioctyl(maleate)tin is a white powder, insoluble in water, belonging to the family of tin compounds. Its primary purpose is to act as a stabilizer for plastics and as an additive in paints, serving as an antifouling agent. This compound is similar to others in its family, such as butyl tin and dibutyl tin oxide, and also possesses catalytic properties. While it serves important industrial functions, it is crucial to handle it with care due to its high toxicity, which poses risks through skin absorption or inhalation.
