Recently, Organotin compounds have come under increased scrutiny with regulatory agencies worldwide. Dibutyltin dilaurate and dibutyltin oxide are already classified as CMR-2 compounds in Europe. Tributyltin compounds are on a concept list for priority substances in surface water which affects the emission allowance level for these substances.
As TBTs can be classified PBT(persistence/bioaccumulation/toxicity) or vPvB (very persistence, very bio accumulative), a large number of TBT-containing compounds will be banned in the future. SACHEM's Metal Acetylacetonates offer the following advantages:
