Monooctyltin tris-ethylhexylthioglycolate is an organotin compound, also known as MOTE or MOTEHTG. It can be used, for example, as a catalyst in a number of polyurethane plastics, for example, for molded foams and for rigid, semi-rigid or flexible integral skin polyurethane foams.
Monooctyltin tris-ethylhexylthioglycolate can also be used as a stabilizer for plastics. Here it increases the weathering resistance of the final product and enables longer life cycles.
