Dibutyltin dilaurate, also known as DBTDL, is an organotin compound used primarily as a catalyst in various industrial processes. It consists of two butyl groups attached to a central tin atom, each esterified with lauric acid. DBTDL is valued for its catalytic properties, particularly in the synthesis of polyurethanes, where it facilitates the formation of urethane linkages from diols and diisocyanates. Additionally, it finds application in the production of plastics, coatings, adhesives, and elastomers due to its ability to accelerate polymerization reactions.
