Zinc neodecanoate

Zinc neodecanoate (CAS 27253-29-8 ), also known as neodecanoic acid zinc salt, is an organozinc compound used industrially as a catalyst, crosslinking agent, and lubricant additive.

Its combination of zinc reactivity and the branched neodecanoate ligand makes it effective in systems requiring controlled metal delivery with good solubility in organic media.

In coatings and sealants, it functions as a cure catalyst for moisture-curable silicone and polyurethane systems, accelerating crosslink formation without the toxicity profile of organotin alternatives.

Polymer formulators use it as a stabilizer and processing aid in PVC and other thermoplastics, where controlled zinc release helps manage thermal degradation during manufacturing.

In lubricant formulations, it acts as an extreme-pressure and anti-wear additive, particularly in metalworking fluids where organic solubility is a critical formulation requirement.

Adhesive manufacturers also incorporate it as a crosslinking promoter in reactive adhesive systems targeting structural bonding applications across various industrial sectors.

Zinc neodecanoate is supplied as a liquid or viscous solution, typically in hydrocarbon or mineral spirit carriers at varying zinc concentrations for specific industrial needs.

Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with specifications defined by zinc content, typically expressed as a percentage by weight in bulk and drummed supply formats.
