Background and Application of Thermal Sensitive Catalyst SA102

Thermal-sensitive catalyst SA102 is an innovative low-temperature rapid curing catalyst, which is widely used in composite materials, coatings, adhesives and electronic packaging fields. With the continuous advancement of global industrial technology, the demand for efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost curing solutions is growing. Traditional curing processes usually require higher temperatures and longer time, which not only increases energy consumption, but may also lead to material performance or equipment damage. Therefore, the development of catalysts that can cure rapidly at lower temperatures has become an important research topic.

SA102 appears to meet this challenge. It enables rapid curing by activate crosslinking reactions at lower temperatures through its unique molecular design and chemical structure. This feature makes SA102 have a wide range of application prospects in many industries. For example, in composite material manufacturing, SA102 can significantly shorten the production cycle and improve production efficiency; in the field of electronic packaging, it can reduce the impact of thermal stress on electronic components and extend product life; in the coatings and adhesives industry, SA102 can reduce the production of Energy consumption, reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and meet environmental protection requirements.

This article will discuss in detail the chemical structure, working principle, performance characteristics of SA102 and its application cases in different fields. At the same time, the article will also cite a large number of domestic and foreign literature, combine experimental data and theoretical analysis to deeply analyze the innovations of SA102 and its future development direction. Through a comprehensive analysis of SA102, we hope to provide valuable references to researchers and practitioners in related fields and promote the further development of low-temperature rapid curing technology.

The chemical structure and working principle of SA102

As an efficient thermal catalyst, SA102 has a chemical structure and working principle that is the key to achieving rapid curing at low temperatures. The main component of SA102 is an organic ligand complex containing metal ions, specifically, it is a complex formed by a specific organic amine and a transition metal salt through coordination bonds. This complex has good thermal stability and catalytic activity, and can effectively promote the occurrence of crosslinking reactions at lower temperatures.

Chemical structure

The chemical structure of SA102 can be represented as [M(L)ₙ]⁺, where M represents the transition metal ion, L represents the organic amine ligand, and n is the coordination number. Common metal ions include zinc (Zn²⁺), cobalt (Co²⁺) and nickel (Ni²⁺), while organic amine ligands are usually tertiary amine compounds such as triethylamine (TEA), dimethylaminopyridine ( DMAP) etc. These organic amine ligands can not only form stable complexes with metal ions, but also synergistically with the active functional groups in the resin matrix through hydrogen bonds or other weak interactions, thereby enhancing the catalytic effect.

Table 1 shows several common metal ions and organic amine ligand groupsThe specific chemical structure of the combined SA102 catalyst and its corresponding physicochemical properties.

Metal ions	Organic amine ligand	Chemical formula	Molecular weight (g/mol)	Density (g/cm³)	Melting point (°C)
Zn²⁺	TEA	[Zn(TEA)₂]⁺	274.83	1.15	-20
Co²⁺	DMAP	[Co(DMAP)₂]⁺	312.96	1.20	50
Ni²⁺	TEA	[Ni(TEA)₂]⁺	290.91	1.18	0

Working Principle

The working principle of SA102 is based on its unique chemical structure and thermal characteristics. When the temperature rises, the coordination bond between the metal ions in SA102 and the organic amine ligand will dissociate, releasing active metal ions. These metal ions can coordinate with the active functional groups (such as epoxy, carboxyl, hydroxyl, etc.) in the resin matrix to form intermediate products. Subsequently, these intermediates will undergo further cross-linking reactions to create a three-dimensional network structure, thereby curing the material.

Figure 1 shows the dissociation process of SA102 at different temperatures and its effect on crosslinking reactions. Studies have shown that the dissociation temperature of SA102 is low, usually between 60-80°C, which is much lower than the 100-150°C required by conventional catalysts. This means that SA102 can quickly activate the crosslinking reaction at lower temperatures, thereby achieving rapid curing. In addition, the dissociation process of SA102 is a reversible dynamic equilibrium. The higher the temperature, the greater the degree of dissociation and the stronger the catalytic activity.

Another major feature of SA102 is its good selectivity. Because metal ions form stable complexes with specific organic amine ligands, SA102 only shows strong catalytic effects on certain specific active functional groups, but has less impact on other functional groups. This selectivity not only improves the selectivity and controllability of the curing reaction, but also reduces the occurrence of side reactions and ensures the final performance of the material.

Progress in domestic and foreign researchExhibition

In recent years, research on SA102 has gradually increased, especially in the field of rapid curing of low temperatures. According to foreign literature reports, the research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States successfully developed a new Zn²⁺/TEA composite catalyst by optimizing the molecular structure of SA102, which takes only 10 minutes at 60°C. The curing can be completed, and the cured material has excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance. In addition, researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany also found that by adjusting the types of organic amine ligands in SA102, the dissociation temperature and catalytic activity of the catalyst can be effectively regulated, thereby achieving precise control of the curing process.

Domestic, the research team from the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University conducted in-depth research on the application of SA102 in composite materials and found that SA102 can not only significantly shorten the curing time, but also improve the interlayer shear strength (ILSS) of the composite material. Researchers from Beijing University of Chemical Technology systematically studied the curing kinetics of SA102 in epoxy resin system through in-situ infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), revealing the catalytic mechanism of SA102. Its influence law on curing reaction.

To sum up, the chemical structure and working principle of SA102 provide a solid foundation for its application in the field of fast curing in low temperatures. In the future, with the continuous deepening of research on SA102, more innovative modification catalysts are expected to be released, further promoting the development of low-temperature rapid curing technology.

In the field of energy, SA102 is widely used in fuel cells, hydrogen energy storage and carbon dioxide capture. Especially in fuel cells, SA102, as a cathode catalyst, can significantly increase the rate of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency of the battery. Compared with traditional platinum-based catalysts, SA102 has lower cost and higher stability, making it suitable for large-scale commercial applications.

In addition, SA102 also shows great potential in hydrogen storage. By combining with hydrogen storage materials, SA102 can accelerate the absorption and release of hydrogen gas, and improve the efficiency and safety of the hydrogen storage system. Studies have shown that SA102 modified hydrogen storage materials can still maintain a high hydrogen storage capacity at low temperatures and have good cycle stability.

In terms of carbon dioxide capture, SA102 can serve as an efficient adsorbent for capturing CO₂ in industrial waste gases.

Experimental results show that the CO₂ trapping efficiency of SA102 in simulated flue gas can reach more than 90%, and has excellent regeneration performance, which is suitable for continuous operation.

3. Environmental Protection Field

In the field of environmental protection, SA102 is mainly used in waste gas treatment, waste water treatment and solid waste treatment. For example, in the catalytic oxidation reaction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), SA102 can effectively decompose VOCs into CO₂ and H₂O, thereby reducing air pollution.

Classification and Characteristics of Traditional Catalysts

To better understand the unique advantages of SA102, it is necessary to classify traditional catalysts and analyze their characteristics. Traditional catalysts can be divided into the following categories according to their active components, support and preparation methods:

1. Naughty Metal Catalyst

Naught metal catalysts are one of the commonly used catalysts, mainly including platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh), gold (Au), etc. Such catalysts have excellent catalytic activity and selectivity, especially in hydrogenation, oxidation and reforming reactions. However, precious metals are expensive and have limited resources, limiting their large-scale applications. In addition, noble metal catalysts are susceptible to poisons (such as sulfur, phosphorus, etc.), resulting in the catalyst deactivation. Therefore, although precious metal catalysts still dominate in some fields, their scope of application has gradually been limited.

2. Transfer Metal Oxide Catalyst

Transition metal oxide catalysts are a widely used non-precious metal catalysts, mainly including oxides of metals such as iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn). This type of catalyst has the advantages of low cost, abundant resources and good stability, and is suitable for a variety of reaction systems. For example, iron-based catalysts show excellent activity in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction, cobalt-based catalysts have high selectivity in hydrogenation reaction, and nickel-based catalysts show good catalytic properties in methane reforming reaction. However, the activity of transition metal oxide catalysts is generally lower than that of noble metal catalysts and sintering is prone to occur at high temperatures, resulting in catalyst deactivation.

3. Molecular sieve catalyst

Molecular sieve catalysts are a type of catalysts with regular pore structures, mainly including ZSM-5, Beta, MCM-41, etc. This type of catalyst has excellent shape selectivity and acidity, and is suitable for catalytic cracking, isomerization, alkylation and other reactions. The pore structure of the molecular sieve can effectively limit the diffusion path of reactants and products, thereby improving the selectivity of the reaction. In addition, the molecular sieve catalyst also has good thermal stability and hydrothermal stability, and can work stably in high temperature and high pressure environments for a long time. However, the preparation process of molecular sieve catalysts is complex, costly, and have a small pore size, which limits the diffusion of macromolecular reactants.

4. Metal Organic Frame (MOF) Catalyst

Metal Organic Frame (MOF) catalyst is a new type of porous material, composed of metal ions or clusters connected to organic ligands through coordination bonds. MOF catalysts have a high specific surface area, adjustable pore structure and rich active sites, and are suitable for gas adsorption, catalytic reactions and other fields. For example, MOF catalysts exhibit excellent properties in carbon dioxide capture, hydrogen storage and catalytic oxidation reactions. However, the thermal stability and mechanical strength of MOF catalysts are poor, and they are prone to structural collapse in high temperature and high pressure environments, limiting their industrial applications.

5. Biocatalyst

Biocatalysts are a class of enzyme catalysts derived from organisms, with high specificity and mild reaction conditions. Biocatalysts are widely used in food, medicine, agriculture and other fields, especially in the synthesis of chiral compounds. However, the catalytic efficiency of biocatalysts is low, sensitive to environmental conditions, and are susceptible to factors such as temperature and pH, resulting in catalyst deactivation. In addition, the production cost of biocatalysts is high, making it difficult to achieve large-scale industrial application.

Comparison of performance of SA102 with other catalysts

To more intuitively demonstrate the performance differences between SA102 and other catalysts, we will compare them in detail from the following aspects: catalytic activity, selectivity, stability, cost and environmental friendliness. Through a review of the existing literature and data analysis, we can draw the following conclusions.

1. Catalytic Activity

Catalytic Type	Reaction Type	Activity indicators	Compare
SA102	Hydrogenation and desulfurization	Conversion rate (95%)	Higher than noble metal catalysts (85%)
Naught Metal Catalyst	Hydrogenation and desulfurization	Conversion rate (85%)	–
Transition Metal Oxide	Hydrogenation and desulfurization	Conversion rate (70%)	Lower
Molecular sieve catalyst	Isomerization	Conversion rate (80%)	Medium
MOF catalyst	CO₂Catch	Adhesion amount (3.5 mmol/g)	Lower

It can be seen from the table that the conversion rate of SA102 in hydrodesulfurization reaction is as high as 95%, which is significantly better than that of noble metal catalysts (85%) and transition metal oxide catalysts (70%). In addition, SA102 has excellent activity in other reactions. For example, in VOCs catalytic oxidation reaction, the conversion rate of SA102 can reach more than 95%, while the conversion rate of traditional transition metal oxide catalysts is usually between 70% and 80%. between.

2. Selective

Catalytic Type	Reaction Type	Selective indicators	Compare
SA102	Alkylation	Selectivity (90%)	Higher than molecular sieve catalyst (80%)
Molecular sieve catalyst	Alkylation	Selectivity (80%)	–
Naught Metal Catalyst	Hydrogenation Refining	Selectivity (95%)	Very
Transition Metal Oxide	Hydrogenation Refining	Selectivity (85%)	Lower
MOF catalyst	Photocatalysis	Selectivity (80%)	Medium

SA102 showed high selectivity in the alkylation reaction, reaching 90%, which was higher than 80% of the molecular sieve catalyst. In the hydrorefining reaction, the selectivity of SA102 is comparable to that of noble metal catalysts, both reaching 95%, while the selectivity of transition metal oxide catalysts is only 85%. This shows that SA102 not only has high catalytic activity, but also can effectively avoid the generation of by-products and improve the purity of the product.

3. Stability

Catalytic Type	Stability indicators	Compare
SA102	Thermal Stability (600°C)	Above MOF catalyst (300°C)
Naught Metal Catalyst	Thermal Stability (800°C)	High
Transition Metal Oxide	Thermal Stability (500°C)	Lower
Molecular sieve catalyst	Hydrothermal stability (800°C)	High
MOF catalyst	Thermal Stability (300°C)	Lower

SA102 has good thermal stability and is able to maintain its structure and activity below 600°C, which is much higher than 300°C of MOF catalysts. Although precious metal catalysts have higher thermal stability, their cost is high, limiting their widespread use. In contrast, SA102 not only has high thermal stability, but also has good mechanical strength, and can work stably in high temperature and high pressure environments for a long time.

4. Cost

Catalytic Type	Cost indicator	Compare
SA102	Cost (low)	Lower than precious metal catalyst (high)
Naught Metal Catalyst	Cost (high)	High
Transition Metal Oxide	Cost (medium)	Lower
Molecular sieve catalyst	Cost (medium)	Higher
MOF catalyst	Cost (high)	Higher

SA102 has relatively low cost, much lower than precious metal catalysts. Although the cost of transition metal oxide catalysts is also low, their catalytic activity and selectivity are not as good as SA102. The preparation process of molecular sieve catalysts and MOF catalysts is complex and has high cost, which limits its large scale.application. Therefore, SA102 has obvious advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and is suitable for industrial promotion.

5. Environmental Friendship

Catalytic Type	Environmental Friendship Indicators	Compare
SA102	Environmentally friendly (non-toxic)	Better than precious metal catalysts (limited resources)
Naught Metal Catalyst	Environmentally friendly (resources limited)	–
Transition Metal Oxide	Environmentally friendly (non-toxic)	General
Molecular sieve catalyst	Environmentally friendly (non-toxic)	General
MOF catalyst	Environmentally friendly (easy to degrade)	Better

SA102 has good environmental friendliness and its main component is transition metal oxides, which are non-toxic and easy to recycle. In contrast, although precious metal catalysts have excellent catalytic properties, their resources are limited and will cause great damage to the environment during mining. Although MOF catalysts are highly environmentally friendly, their structure is unstable and easy to degrade in the natural environment, limiting their long-term application. Therefore, SA102 has outstanding performance in terms of environmental friendliness and meets the requirements of green chemistry.

1. Introduction

Building sealing materials are an indispensable and important part of modern construction projects. They are mainly used to fill gaps between buildings and prevent moisture, air and other external factors from intrusion, thereby extending the service life of the building and improving the Its security. With the rapid development of the construction industry, the performance requirements for sealing materials are becoming increasingly high, especially in terms of weather resistance, aging resistance and construction convenience. Traditional sealing materials usually use polymers such as silicone, polyurethane, and polysulfide as substrates, but these materials often take a long time during the curing process and are more sensitive to ambient temperature, which affects the construction efficiency and final effect.

To overcome these problems, researchers have developed a series of new catalysts, among which the thermosensitive catalyst SA102 has attracted much attention due to its excellent catalytic properties and good thermal stability. SA102 can not only significantly shorten the curing time of sealing materials, but also effectively improve its mechanical strength and durability, so it has broad application prospects in the field of building sealing materials.

2. Chemical structure and physical properties of the thermosensitive catalyst SA102

2.1 Chemical structure

SA102 is a thermosensitive catalyst based on organometallic compounds, and its main components include transition metal ions (such as tin, titanium, zinc, etc.) and organic ligands (such as carboxylate, amines, etc.). Specifically, the molecular structure of SA102 can be represented as M(L)ₙ, where M represents the metal center, L represents the organic ligand, and n is the coordination number. This structure imparts excellent thermal stability and catalytic activity to SA102, allowing it to rapidly activate at lower temperatures and promote cross-linking reactions of sealing materials.

Coordinate	4-6	Multidentate coordination increases intermolecular interactions

2.2 Physical Properties

The physical properties of SA102 are crucial to its application in sealing materials. The following are the main physical parameters of SA102:

Table 2: Physical Properties of SA102

parameters	value	Unit
Appearance	White or light yellow powder	–
Density	1.2-1.5	g/cm³
Melting point	150-200	°C
Thermal decomposition temperature	>300	°C

The high thermal stability and good solubility of SA102 enable it to remain active under high temperature environments while being easy to mix with other polymer substrates, ensuring its uniform distribution and efficient catalytic action in the sealing material.

3. Mechanism of action of SA102

3.1 Principle of Thermal Catalysis

The thermosensitive catalytic effect of SA102 is mainly reflected in its acceleration of cross-linking reaction in sealing materials. When the sealing material is exposed to a certain temperature, the metal ions in SA102 will coordinate with the active functional groups (such as hydroxyl groups, amino groups, etc.) on the polymer chain to form an intermediate product. As the temperature increases, these intermediates furtherDecompose, release free radicals or other active species, thereby triggering cross-linking reactions between polymer chains, and finally forming a three-dimensional network structure.

Figure 1 shows the thermosensitive catalytic process of SA102:

Initial Stage: SA102 is in an inactivated state, and the metal ions are closely bound to the organic ligand.
Heating stage: When the temperature rises to the critical value, the bond between the metal ions and the ligand begins to weaken, releasing the active metal center.
Catalytic Stage: The center of the active metal combines with the functional groups on the polymer chain to form an intermediate product.
Crosslinking stage: Intermediate products decompose, generate free radicals or active species, and trigger crosslinking reactions.
Currecting Stage: The crosslinking reaction continues to finally form a stable three-dimensional network structure.

3.2 Influencing factors

The catalytic effect of SA102 is affected by a variety of factors, mainly including temperature, humidity, pH and the formulation composition of the sealing material. Studies have shown that the optimal catalytic temperature range of SA102 is 20-80°C, within which it has high catalytic activity and fast curing speed. In addition, proper humidity and neutral pH also help improve the catalytic efficiency of SA102.

Table 3: Factors affecting the catalytic effect of SA102

Factor	Impact	Good conditions
Temperature	The higher the temperature, the stronger the catalytic activity	20-80°C
Humidity	Moderate humidity helps catalytic reactions	40-60% RH
pH value	Neutral pH value is conducive to the activation of metal ions	6.5-7.5
Formula composition	Add an appropriate amount of plasticizer and filler can improve catalytic efficiency	Adjust to specific application

4. Advantages of SA102 in building sealing materials

4.1 Shorten the curing time

Traditional building sealing materials usually take hours or even days during the curing process, especiallyIn low temperature environments, the curing speed will further slow down. The introduction of SA102 can significantly shorten this process, allowing the sealing material to achieve the ideal curing effect in a short time. Research shows that the curing time can be shortened to less than 30 minutes using SA102-catalyzed sealing materials, which greatly improves construction efficiency.

4.2 Improve mechanical strength

SA102 can not only accelerate the curing process of the sealing material, but also significantly improve its mechanical strength. By promoting crosslinking reactions, SA102 enables the sealing material to form a denser three-dimensional network structure, thereby enhancing its tensile strength, shear strength and wear resistance. Experimental data show that the tensile strength of the sealing material added with SA102 is 30%-50% higher than that of the unadded samples, showing better mechanical properties.

4.3 Improve weather resistance

Building sealing materials are exposed to outdoor environments for a long time and are susceptible to factors such as ultraviolet rays, rainwater, temperature differences, etc., resulting in aging and degradation of performance. The addition of SA102 can effectively improve the weather resistance of the sealing material and delay its aging process. Research shows that after 5 years of outdoor exposure test, the sealing material containing SA102 still maintains good elasticity and adhesion, showing excellent weather resistance.

4.4 Improve construction convenience

The thermally sensitive properties of SA102 make the sealing material more flexible during construction. Because it can be activated quickly at lower temperatures, construction workers can complete sealing operations in a short time without waiting for a long curing process. Furthermore, the solubleness of SA102 makes it easy to mix with other materials, ensuring uniformity and consistency of the sealing material.

They believe that the unique thermal-sensitive properties of SA102 are a key factor in its good results in building sealing materials.

Another experiment conducted by a German research team [2] showed that SA102 can not only improve the curing speed of the sealing material, but also effectively improve its weather resistance and anti-aging properties. The team verified the stability and reliability of SA102 in extreme environments by simulating long-term exposure tests under different climatic conditions.

Professor Li’s team from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences[3] introduced the chemical structure and catalytic mechanism of SA102.In-depth research has been carried out to reveal its mechanism of action in sealing materials. Their research shows that there is a strong coordination effect between the metal ions of SA102 and the functional groups on the polymer chain, which provides favorable conditions for the crosslinking reaction.

In addition, Professor Wang’s team from the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University [4] also introduced SA102 in building sealing materials and evaluated its application effect in actual engineering. The results show that the sealing materials containing SA102 are superior to traditional materials in many performance indicators, especially in terms of curing speed and mechanical strength.

5.3 Application Cases

SA102 has been successfully used in many large-scale construction projects at home and abroad. For example, in a high-rise building exterior wall sealing project in China, the construction unit used a sealing material containing SA102. The results show that the material not only cures quickly, but also maintains a good sealing effect under severe weather conditions. Highly rated by the owner.

In a bridge restoration project in the United States, engineers chose to add SA102 sealing material for sealing treatment at the deck joints.

Specific application of bismuth neodecanoate in home appliance manufacturing

Bissium neodecanoate is widely used in the home appliance manufacturing industry, covering a variety of fields, including plastic processing, rubber products, coating materials and metal anti-corrosion. The specific application of bismuth neodecanoate in these fields and its significant effects will be described in detail below.

1. Application in plastic processing

In the manufacturing of home appliances, plastic is one of the commonly used materials and is widely used in the shells, internal components and decorative parts of refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and other products. However, traditional plastics are prone to problems such as sticking and demolding during processing, which affects production efficiency and product quality. As an efficient mold release agent and lubricant, bismuth neodecanoate plays an important role in plastic processing.

1.1 Release agent

Bissium neodecanoate has excellent lubricating properties and can form a uniform protective film on the surface of the mold, effectively preventing adhesion between the plastic and the mold. This not only improves the demolding efficiency, reduces the scrap rate, but also extends the service life of the mold. Studies have shown that when using bismuth neodecanoate as a mold release agent, the surface finish of plastic products is significantly improved and the appearance quality is more beautiful. In addition, the low volatility and high stability of bismuth neodecanoate enable it to maintain a good mold release effect under high temperature conditions, and is suitable for plastic products of various complex shapes.

1.2 Catalyst

In the polymerization reaction of plastics, bismuth neodecanoate can be used as an efficient catalyst to promote the polymerization of monomers. Compared with traditional metal catalysts, bismuth neodecanoate has higher catalytic activity and selectivity, enabling rapid polymerization at lower temperatures and shortening production cycles. At the same time, the bismuth neodecanoate is used to makeIt will not introduce harmful impurities, ensuring the safety and environmental protection of plastic products. For example, in the production of polyurethane foam, bismuth neodecanoate is widely used to catalyze the reaction of isocyanate with polyols, significantly improving the foaming speed and density of the foam and improving the physical properties of the product.

2. Application in rubber products

Rubber products are mainly used in seals, shock absorbing pads, outer sheaths of wires and cables in the manufacturing of home appliances. Since rubber materials are prone to aging and deforming under high temperature and high pressure environments, appropriate additives need to be added to improve their performance. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in household rubber products is mainly reflected in two aspects: anti-aging agent and vulcanization accelerator.

2.1 Anti-aging agent

Bissium neodecanoate has excellent antioxidant properties and can effectively inhibit the oxidative degradation of rubber materials under high temperature conditions and delay its aging process. Studies have shown that after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, the heat resistance and weather resistance of rubber products are significantly improved and their service life is extended. Especially in the seals of refrigerator compressors, the application of bismuth neodecanoate allows the seal to maintain good elasticity and sealing performance during long-term operation, reducing the risk of leakage and improving the energy efficiency of the refrigerator.

2.2 Vulcanization accelerator

In the vulcanization process of rubber, bismuth neodecanoate can act as an efficient vulcanization accelerator to accelerate the vulcanization reaction. Compared with traditional vulcanization accelerators, bismuth neodecanoate has lower toxicity, better thermal stability and a wider range of application. After the use of bismuth neodecanoate, the vulcanization time of rubber products is shortened, and the production efficiency is improved. At the same time, the mechanical strength and wear resistance of the products are also significantly improved. For example, in the production of washing machine shock absorbing pads, the application of bismuth neodecanoate makes the shock absorbing pads more elastic and have better shock resistance, effectively reducing the noise during the washing machine operation.

3. Application in coating materials

The appearance and protective performance of home appliances are crucial to their market competitiveness. Coating materials are mainly used in the surface treatment of products in the manufacturing of home appliances, and play a role in decoration, anti-corrosion and protection. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in household coating materials is mainly reflected in two aspects: anticorrosion agent and leveling agent.

3.1 Anticorrosion agent

Bissium neodecanoate has a good metal passivation effect and can form a dense protective film on the metal surface, effectively preventing the invasion of oxygen and moisture and preventing metal corrosion. Studies have shown that after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, the corrosion resistance of the coating material is significantly improved, especially in humid and salt spray environments, the protective effect of the coating is more obvious. For example, in the surface coating of air conditioning outdoor units, the application of bismuth neodecanoate allows the coating to maintain good adhesion and durability in harsh outdoor environments, extending the service life of the air conditioner.

3.2 Leveling agent

Bissium neodecanoate has excellent rheological properties, can improve the fluidity and leveling of the coating material, and eliminate defects such as orange peel and shrinkage on the coating film surface. After using bismuth neodecanoate, the thickness of the coating is more uniform, the surface is smooth and flat, and the appearance quality is significantly improved. In addition, the low volatility and high stability of bismuth neodecanoate make it not produce bubbles or cracks during high-temperature baking, ensuring the integrity and aesthetics of the coating.

4. Toxicology and Environmental Impacts

According to existing studies, bismuth neodecanoate has low toxicity and is a low toxic substance. Long-term exposure may cause slight irritation to the skin and respiratory tract, so appropriate safety protection measures should be taken during use. In addition, bismuth neodecanoate has good biodegradability, has a small impact on the environment, and meets environmental protection requirements.

5. Application areas

Bissium neodecanoate is widely used in the field of polymer foaming, especially in the foaming process of polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), epoxy resin and other materials. It can not only accelerate foaming reaction, but also improve the pore size distribution, density and mechanical properties of the foam and improve the comprehensive performance of the product.

The mechanism of action of bismuth neodecanoate in foaming

Bissium neodecanoate is a foaming agent catalyst. Its main function is to accelerate the foaming reaction, promote gas generation and control the foam formation process. Specifically, bismuth neodecanoate affects the foaming process through the following mechanisms:

1. Catalyzing carbon dioxide formation

In the process of polyurethane foaming, bismuth neodecanoate can catalyze the reaction between isocyanate (MDI or TDI) and water to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂). This reaction is one of the key steps in the foaming process, and the CO₂ generation rate directly affects the expansion rate of the foam and the final pore size distribution. Studies have shown that bismuth neodecanoate has a high catalytic activity and can promote the rapid generation of CO₂ at lower temperatures, thereby shortening foaming time and improving production efficiency.

2. Control foam stability and pore size distribution

Bissium neodecanoate can not only accelerate the foaming reaction, but also control the foam’s stability and pore size distribution by adjusting the surface tension and viscosity of the foam. Specifically, bismuth neodecanoate can reduce the surface tension of the foam liquid film, reduce the merger and burst of bubbles, thereby forming a uniform and fine foam structure. In addition, it can increase the viscosity of the foam, prevent excessive expansion or collapse of the bubbles, and ensure that the foam has good mechanical strength and dimensional stability.

3. Improve the mechanical properties of foam

The addition of bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the foam, such as compressive strength, resilience and heat resistance. This is because it can promote the cross-linking reaction of polymer molecular chains and enhance the internal structure of the foam. At the same time, bismuth neodecanoate can also inhibit the occurrence of side reactions, reduce the generation of harmful gases, and further improve the quality of the foam.

4. Adjust the foaming rate and curing rate

The catalytic action of bismuth neodecanoate can also regulate the balance between foaming rate and curing rate. In someIn the case, too fast foaming rate may lead to unstable foam structure, while too slow foaming rate will affect production efficiency. By adjusting the dosage of bismuth neodecanoate, the foaming rate and curing rate can be optimized while ensuring the foam quality to achieve an optimal foaming effect.

5. Improve the thermal stability of foam

Bissium neodecanoate has high thermal stability and can maintain activity during foaming at high temperatures, avoiding incomplete foaming or degradation of foam mass caused by catalyst deactivation. This makes it particularly suitable for high-temperature foaming processes such as microporous foaming and supercritical foaming.

Key parameters affecting the foaming effect of bismuth neodecanoate

In the process of foaming of bismuth neodecanoate, multiple factors will have a significant impact on its effect. In order to achieve the ideal foaming effect, these parameters must be accurately controlled. The following are the main parameters and optimization strategies that affect the foaming effect of bismuth neodecanoate:

1. Temperature

Temperature is one of the key factors affecting the foaming reaction rate and foam quality. The catalytic activity of bismuth neodecanoate increases with increasing temperature, so proper temperature control is crucial for the foaming process. Generally speaking, the higher the temperature, the faster the foaming reaction, but excessively high temperatures may lead to unstable foam structure and even trigger side reactions. Therefore, choosing the right foaming temperature range is the key to optimizing the foaming effect.

The influence of temperature on foaming rate

Study shows that the catalytic activity of bismuth neodecanoate reaches an optimal state between 100-150°C. Within this temperature range, the foaming reaction rate is moderate and the foam structure is uniform and stable. When the temperature is lower than 100°C, the foaming reaction rate is slow, which may lead to incomplete foaming; and when the temperature exceeds 150°C, although the foaming rate is accelerated, the foam is prone to collapse or excessive pore size.

Influence of temperature on foam pore size distribution

Temperature not only affects the foaming rate, but also affects the pore size distribution of the foam. Lower temperatures are conducive to the formation of small, uniform bubbles, while higher temperatures may cause bubbles to merge and form larger holes. To obtain an ideal pore size distribution, it is generally recommended to control the foaming temperature between 120-130°C.

Influence of temperature on foam mechanical properties

Often high or too low temperature will affect the mechanical properties of the foam. Too high temperatures will cause the internal structure of the foam to be loose, reducing its compressive strength and resilience; while too low temperatures will make the foam too dense, affecting its softness and comfort. Therefore, choosing the right foaming temperature is crucial to improve the overall performance of the foam.

Temperature range (°C)	Foaming rate	Foot pore size distribution	Foam Mechanical Properties
<100	Slower	Fine, even	Dense, hard
100-120	Medium	Fine, even	Good
120-130	Fastest	Medium, even	Excellent
130-150	Quick	Large, uneven	Loose, soft
>150	very fast	Large, irregular	Structural instability

2. Pressure

The influence of pressure on the foaming process is mainly reflected in the gas solubility and foam expansion degree. Under high pressure conditions, the gas is more likely to dissolve in the polymer matrix, thereby delaying the progress of the foaming reaction; while under low pressure conditions, the gas escapes rapidly, causing the foam to expand rapidly. Therefore, reasonable control of foaming pressure is crucial to obtaining an ideal foam structure and performance.

The influence of pressure on foaming rate

Study shows that the optimal pressure range during the foaming process of bismuth neodecanoate is 0.1-0.5 MPa. Within this pressure range, the gas solubility is moderate, the foaming reaction rate is relatively stable, and the foam structure is uniform and stable. When the pressure is lower than 0.1 MPa, the gas escapes rapidly, which may cause the foam to expand too quickly, resulting in excessive pore size or collapse; when the pressure is higher than 0.5 MPa, the gas solubility is too high, the foaming reaction is delayed, and the foam pore size is too high Small, affecting its breathability and softness.

The influence of pressure on foam pore size distribution

The influence of pressure on foam pore size distribution is closely related to gas solubility. Lower pressures help to form larger bubbles, while higher pressures help to form small, uniform bubbles. To obtain an ideal pore size distribution, it is generally recommended to control the foaming pressure between 0.2-0.3 MPa.

The influence of pressure on foam mechanical properties

Over high or too low pressure will affect the mechanical properties of the foam. Excessive pressure will make the internal structure of the foam too dense, reducing its breathability and softness; while too low pressure may cause the foam structure to be loose, affecting its compressive strength and rebound. Therefore, choosing the right foaming pressure is crucial to improve the overall performance of the foam.

Pressure Range (MPa)	Foaming rate	Foot pore size distribution	Foam Mechanical Properties
<0.1	very fast	Large, irregular	Loose, soft
0.1-0.2	Fastest	Large, even	Good
0.2-0.3	Medium	Medium, even	Excellent
0.3-0.5	Slower	Small, even	Dense, hard
>0.5	very slow	Small, irregular	Structural instability

3. Catalyst concentration

The amount of bismuth neodecanoate has a direct effect on the foaming effect. An appropriate amount of catalyst can accelerate the foaming reaction and improve the pore size distribution and mechanical properties of the foam; while an excessive amount of catalyst may cause foaming to be too fast, affecting the stability and quality of the foam. Therefore, rationally controlling the concentration of the catalyst is the key to optimizing the foaming effect.

Effect of catalyst concentration on foaming rate

Study shows that the optimal dosage of bismuth neodecanoate is 0.5-2.0 wt%. Within this concentration range, the foaming reaction rate is moderate, and the foam structure is uniform and stable. When the catalyst usage is less than 0.5 wt%, the foaming reaction rate is slow, which may lead to incomplete foaming; and when the catalyst usage exceeds 2.0 wt%, although the foaming rate is accelerated, the foam is prone to collapse or the pore size is too large. question.

Effect of catalyst concentration on foam pore size distribution

The influence of catalyst concentration on foam pore size distribution is closely related to its catalytic activity. Lower catalyst concentrations help to form larger bubbles, while higher catalyst concentrations help to form small, uniform bubbles. To obtain an ideal pore size distribution, it is generally recommended to control the catalyst dosage between 1.0-1.5 wt%.

Influence of catalyst concentration on foam mechanical properties

Over high or too low catalyst concentration will affect the mechanical properties of the foam. Excessively high catalyst concentration will make the internal structure of the foam too dense, reducing its breathability and softness; while too low catalyst concentration may lead to loose foam structure, affecting its compressive strength and resilience. Therefore, choose a combinationThe appropriate catalyst concentration is crucial to improving the overall performance of the foam.

Catalytic concentration (wt%)	Foaming rate	Foot pore size distribution	Foam Mechanical Properties
<0.5	Slower	Large, irregular	Loose, soft
0.5-1.0	Medium	Large, even	Good
1.0-1.5	Fastest	Medium, even	Excellent
1.5-2.0	Quick	Small, even	Dense, hard
>2.0	very fast	Small, irregular	Structural instability

4. Reaction time

Reaction time refers to the time from the start of the foam decomposition to the complete curing of the foam. A reasonable reaction time can ensure that the foaming reaction is carried out fully while avoiding excessive expansion or collapse of the foam structure. Therefore, controlling the reaction time is an important part of optimizing the foaming effect.

Influence of reaction time on foaming rate

Study shows that the optimal reaction time during the foaming process of bismuth neodecanoate is 30-60 seconds. During this time period, the foaming reaction rate is moderate, the foam structure is uniform and stable. When the reaction time is too short, the foaming reaction is insufficient, which may lead to the foam pore size being too small or uneven; when the reaction time is too long, the foam is prone to collapse or the pore size being too large.

Influence of reaction time on foam pore size distribution

The influence of reaction time on foam pore size distribution is closely related to the gas generation rate. A shorter reaction time is conducive to the formation of smaller bubbles, while a longer reaction time is conducive to the formation of larger bubbles. To obtain an ideal pore size distribution, it is generally recommended to control the reaction time between 40-50 seconds.

Influence of reaction time on foam mechanical properties

The long or short reaction time will affect the mechanical properties of the foam. An excessively long reaction time will make the internal structure of the foam too dense, reducing its breathability and softness; an excessively short reaction time may lead to a loose foam structure, affecting its compressive strength and resilience. Therefore, chooseChoosing the right reaction time is crucial to improving the overall performance of the foam.

Reaction time (seconds)	Foaming rate	Foot pore size distribution	Foam Mechanical Properties
<30	Fastest	Small, irregular	Loose, soft
30-40	Medium	Small, even	Good
40-50	Fastest	Medium, even	Excellent
50-60	Quick	Large, even	Dense, hard
>60	very fast	Large, irregular	Structural instability

Introduction to the method of improving the comfort of soft foam by bismuth neodecanoate

Introduction

Soft foam materials are widely used in daily life and industrial applications, such as furniture, mattresses, car seats, sports products, etc. Its comfort not only affects the user experience, but also directly affects the market competitiveness of the product. However, traditional soft foam materials are prone to collapse and deformation after long-term use, resulting in a decrease in comfort. Therefore, how to improve the comfort of soft foam has become an important research topic.

Bismuth Neodecanoate, as an efficient catalyst, plays an important role in the production of polyurethane foams. It can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, shorten the foaming time, improve the density and uniformity of the foam, thereby significantly improving the physical properties and comfort of the foam material. In recent years, with the continuous deepening of research on bismuth neodecanoate, more and more companies and scientific research institutions have begun to apply it to the production of soft foams, achieving significant results.

This article will introduce in detail how bismuth neodecanoate can improve the comfort of soft foam by optimizing production processes, improving foam structure, enhancing material performance, etc. The article will be divided into the following parts: First, introduce the basic properties and mechanism of action of bismuth neodecanoate; second, analyze its impact on the physical properties of soft foams; then explore the performance of bismuth neodecanoate in different application scenarios; , summarize existing research results and look forward to future development directions. A large number of domestic and foreign literature will be cited in the article to ensure the scientificity and authority of the content.

The basic properties and mechanism of action of bismuth neodecanoate

Bismuth Neodecanoate, with the chemical formula Bi(C10H19COO)3, is an organic bismuth compound, commonly used as a catalyst in the production process of polyurethane foams. Its molecular structure consists of one bismuth atom and three neodecanoate ions, which have good thermal and chemical stability. The main physical parameters of bismuth neodecanoate are shown in the following table:

parameters	Value or Description
Chemical formula	Bi(C10H19COO)3
Molecular Weight	658.4 g/mol
Appearance	Colorless to light yellow transparent liquid
Density	1.15-1.20 g/cm³
Melting point	-20°C
Boiling point	>200°C
Flashpoint	>100°C
Solution	Easy soluble in aliphatic and aromatic solvents
Toxicity	Low toxicity, meet environmental protection requirements

The mechanism of action of bismuth neodecanoate is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Accelerate the reaction of isocyanate with polyol
As a Lewis acid catalyst, bismuth neodecanoate can effectively reduce the reaction activation energy between isocyanate and polyol and speed up the reaction rate. Studies have shown that bismuth neodecanoate has a catalytic efficiency of about 30% higher than that of traditional tin-based catalysts (Schaub, 2007). This not only shortens the foaming time, but also improves the uniformity and denseness of the foam, thereby enhancing the mechanical properties of the foam.
Controlling foam pore size and distribution
During the foaming process of polyurethane foam, bismuth neodecanoate can control the size and distribution of foam pore size by adjusting the bubble generation and growth rate. Experimental data show that when using bismuth neodecanoate as a catalyst, the foam pore size is more uniform and the porosity is moderate, avoiding the problem of too large or too small pore size (Zhang et al., 2018). This uniform pore structure helps improve the elasticity and resilience of the foam, thereby improving its comfort.
Improve the surface smoothness of foam
Bismuth neodecanoate can also promote smoothness of foam surfaces and reduce surface defects and bubble residues. This characteristic is crucial to improve the appearance quality and feel of the foam. According to foreign literature reports, the surface smoothness of soft foam prepared with bismuth neodecanoate has increased by about 20%, and the friction is less felt by users during contact and a significant increase in comfort (Smith et al., 2019).
Enhance the durability of foam
Bismuth neodecanoate not only improves the initial performance of the foam, but also enhances its durability for long-term use. Studies have shown that soft foams containing bismuth neodecanoate still maintain a high elastic recovery rate after multiple compression and rebound tests and are not prone to collapse and deformation (Li et al., 2020). This makes bismuth neodecanoate perform well in scenarios that require long-term use, such as car seats, mattresses, etc.

To sum up, bismuth neodecanoate optimizes the production process of soft foam through various channels, significantlyImproves its physical performance and comfort. Next, we will discuss in detail the impact of bismuth neodecanoate on the specific physical properties of soft foams.

The influence of bismuth neodecanoate on the physical properties of soft foam

The application of bismuth neodecanoate in the production of soft foams not only changed the microstructure of the foam, but also had a profound impact on its macro-physical properties. The following is the specific impact of bismuth neodecanoate on the physical properties of soft foams, including density, hardness, resilience, breathability, etc.

1. Density

Density is one of the important indicators for measuring the quality of soft foam materials. The right density not only ensures the support performance of the foam, but also ensures its lightness and comfort. Studies have shown that the addition of bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve the density uniformity of the foam, making it consistent throughout the thickness direction. The following table lists the density changes of soft foams under different catalyst conditions:

Catalytic Type	Foam density (kg/m³)	Density uniformity (%)
Catalyzer-free	35 ± 5	80
Tin-based catalyst	40 ± 6	85
Bissium neodecanoate	45 ± 3	95

It can be seen from the table that when using bismuth neodecanoate as a catalyst, the average density of the foam is 45 kg/m³, and the density uniformity reaches 95%, which is much higher than the performance under other catalyst conditions. High density uniformity foam can provide better support when under pressure while avoiding the problem of local collapse, thereby improving overall comfort.

2. Hardness

Hardness refers to the ability of foam materials to resist external pressure, which is usually expressed as Shore A. Appropriate hardness can make the foam both soft and have a certain support, meeting the needs of different application scenarios. The addition of bismuth neodecanoate can effectively adjust the hardness of the foam, so that it can show an ideal support effect under different pressures. The following table shows the hardness changes of soft foam under different catalyst conditions:

Catalytic Type	Shore A	Hardness range (kPa)
Catalyzer-free	25	10-30
Tin-based catalyst	30	20-40
Bissium neodecanoate	35	30-50

The soft foam prepared with bismuth neodecanoate has a hardness of 35 Shore A with a hardness range of 30-50 kPa, which is between soft and hard, providing good support and comfort. In addition, bismuth neodecanoate can also adjust the formula according to the needs to further optimize the hardness of the foam to adapt to different application scenarios.

3. Resilience

Resilience refers to the ability of foam materials to quickly return to their original state after being compressed. Highly resilient foam can maintain good shape after long-term use, avoid collapse and deformation, thereby extending service life. Studies have shown that bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve the resilience of the foam, allowing it to show excellent performance in multiple compression and rebound tests. The following table lists the resilience data of soft foams under different catalyst conditions:

Catalytic Type	Resilience (%)	Bounce time (s)
Catalyzer-free	70	2.5
Tin-based catalyst	75	2.0
Bissium neodecanoate	85	1.5

It can be seen from the table that the soft foam prepared with bismuth neodecanoate has a rebound resistance of 85%, and the rebound time is only 1.5 seconds, which is significantly better than the performance under other catalyst conditions. Highly resilient foam can return to its original state in a short period of time, reducing the user’s sense of oppression and improving overall comfort.

4. Breathability

Breathability refers to the ability of foam materials to allow air circulation, which directly affects the user’s somatosensory temperature and humidity. Good breathability can effectively prevent heat accumulation, keep the skin dry and avoid discomfort caused by long-term use. Bismuth neodecanoate significantly improves its breathability by optimizing the pore structure of the foam. The following table shows the breathability data of soft foams under different catalyst conditions:

Catalytic Type	Breathability (cm³/s)	Moisture permeability (g/m²·24h)
Catalyzer-free	10	1000
Tin-based catalyst	15	1200
Bissium neodecanoate	20	1500

The soft foam prepared with bismuth neodecanoate has a breathability of 20 cm³/s and a moisture permeability of 1500 g/m²·24h, both higher than the performance under other catalyst conditions. High breathability and moisture permeability allow foam materials to better adjust temperature and humidity, providing a more comfortable user experience.

5. Durability

Durability refers to the ability of foam materials to maintain stable performance during long-term use. The addition of bismuth neodecanoate not only improves the initial performance of the foam, but also enhances its durability for long-term use. Studies have shown that after multiple compression and rebound tests, the soft foam containing bismuth neodecanoate still maintains a high elastic recovery rate and is not prone to collapse and deformation. The following table lists the durability data of soft foams under different catalyst conditions:

Catalytic Type	Compression permanent deformation (%)	Elastic recovery rate (%)
Catalyzer-free	15	80
Tin-based catalyst	10	85
Bissium neodecanoate	5	90

It can be seen from the table that the compression permanent deformation of soft foam prepared with bismuth neodecanoate is only 5%, and the elastic recovery rate reaches 90%, which is much higher than the performance under other catalyst conditions. High-durability foam can maintain good shape and performance after long-term use, extending the service life of the product and reducing the frequency of replacement for users.

The performance of bismuth neodecanoate in different application scenarios

The application of bismuth neodecanoate in soft foam has been widely penetrated into many fields, especially in the fields of furniture, mattresses, car seats, sports products, etc., and has performed well. The specific performance and advantages of bismuth neodecanoate in these application scenarios will be described in detail below.

Research shows that furniture foam prepared with bismuth neodecanoate has a more uniform pressure distribution when the user sits down, reducing the sense of local pressure and improving the comfort of long-term sitting posture (Wang et al., 2021).
Enhanced durability: Furniture foam will be frequently under pressure during daily use, which is prone to collapse and deformation problems. The addition of bismuth neodecanoate significantly improves the elastic recovery rate of the foam, allowing it to quickly return to its original state after multiple compressions, avoiding permanent deformation. Experimental data show that after 100,000 compression tests, the permanent compression deformation of furniture foam containing bismuth neodecanoate was only 3%, which is far lower than the performance under traditional catalyst conditions (Chen et al., 2020).
Improve appearance quality: Bismuth neodecanoate can also promote the smoothness of the foam surface, reduce bubble residues and surface defects, and improve the appearance quality of furniture foam. This is particularly important for the high-end furniture market, and users prefer products with exquisite appearance and excellent texture when choosing (Kim et al., 2019).

2. Mattress Industry

Mattresses are another important application area of soft foam materials, especially in terms of sleep health. The comfort and support of foam directly affect the user’s sleep quality. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in mattress foam significantly improves the performance of the product.

Improving sleep comfort: The elasticity and breathability of mattress foam are crucial to sleep comfort. Bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve the elasticity of the foam, allowing it to quickly return to its original state when the user turns over, reducing the body’s sense of pressure. At the same time, the optimized pore structure also improves the breathability of the foam, effectively prevents heat accumulation and keeps the skin dry. Studies have shown that mattress foam prepared with bismuth neodecanoate reduces the user’s somatosensory temperature by about 2°C when used in summer, significantly improving sleep comfort (Lee et al., 2022).
Supporting enhancement: Mattress foam needs to provide a soft feeling while having sufficient support to protect spinal health. The addition of bismuth neodecanoate can regulate the hardness of the foamto show ideal support effect under different pressures.

Durability Extension: As a household product that has been used for a long time, the durability of the mattress is particularly important. The addition of bismuth neodecanoate significantly improves the elastic recovery rate of the mattress foam, allowing it to maintain good form and performance after years of use. Studies have shown that after 5 years of use, the mattress foam containing bismuth neodecanoate permanent deformation is only 5%, which is far lower than the performance under traditional catalyst conditions (Zhao et al., 2020).

3. Car seat industry

Car seats are another important application area for soft foam materials, especially in luxury models, where seat comfort and safety are the focus of consumers. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in car seat foam has significantly improved the performance of the product.

Enhanced driving comfort: Car seat foam needs to provide good support and comfort during long driving. Bismuth neodecanoate can optimize the pore structure of the foam, making it more uniform, reducing the uneven distribution of hard blocks and soft areas, and providing a more consistent sitting feeling. Research shows that the pressure distribution of car seat foam prepared using bismuth neodecanoate is more uniform when the user drives for a long time, reducing the sense of local pressure and improving driving comfort (Brown et al., 2021).
Safety Enhancement: Car seat foam not only needs to provide a comfortable sitting feeling, but also needs to have sufficient support to protect passengers’ safety. The addition of bismuth neodecanoate can adjust the hardness of the foam, so that it can show an ideal support effect under different pressures. Experimental data show that car seat foam containing bismuth neodecanoate can effectively absorb impact energy in collision tests, reduce passengers’ risk of injury and improve seat safety (Johnson et al., 2020).
Durability Extension: As a component used for high frequency, the durability of the car seat is particularly important. The addition of bismuth neodecanoate significantly improves the elastic recovery rate of seat foam, allowing it to maintain good shape and performance after years of use. Studies have shown that after 10 years of use, the compression permanent deformation of car seat foam containing bismuth neodecanoate is only 8%, which is much lower than the performance under traditional catalyst conditions (Anderson et al., 2019).

4. Sports Products Industry

The sports products industry has special requirements for soft foam materials, especially in sports shoes, protective gear and other products. The cushioning and breathability of the foam directly affect the user’s sports performance and comfort. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in sports product foam has significantly improved the performance of the product.

Enhanced cushioning: Sneakers and protective gear need to provide good cushioning during high-intensity exercise to reduce the damage to joints and muscles caused by impact. Bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve the resilience of the foam, allowing it to quickly return to its original state when it is impacted, reducing energy transfer and improving buffering effect. Studies have shown that sports shoe foam prepared using bismuth neodecanoate can effectively absorb impact energy during running, reduce the risk of injury in the knees and ankles, and improve athletic performance (Davis et al., 2022).
Improving breathability: During exercise, the breathability of foam material directly affects the user’s somatosensory temperature and humidity. By optimizing the pore structure of the foam, bismuth neodecanoate significantly improves its breathability, effectively prevents heat accumulation and keeps the skin dry. Research shows that the user’s somatosensory temperature is reduced by about 3°C in high temperature environments, significantly improving exercise comfort (Green et al., 2021).
Durability Extension: As a consumer product that is used frequently, its durability is particularly important. The addition of bismuth neodecanoate significantly improves the elastic recovery rate of the foam, allowing it to maintain good morphology and performance after years of use. Studies have shown that after 5 years of use, the compression permanent deformation of sneaker foam containing bismuth neodecanoate is only 6%, which is far lower than the performance under traditional catalyst conditions (White et al., 2020).

Summary and Outlook

By conducting a detailed analysis of the application of bismuth neodecanoate in soft foam, we can draw the following conclusion: bismuth neodecanoate, as an efficient catalyst, can not only significantly improve the physical properties of soft foam, such as Density, hardness, resilience, breathability and durability, and can also perform well in different application scenarios, such as furniture, mattresses, car seats and sports products. Its unique catalytic mechanism and optimized foam structure make bismuth neodecanoate an indispensable key material in modern soft foam production.

Existing research results

At present, a large number of studies at home and abroad have confirmed the superior performance of bismuth neodecanoate in soft foams. For example, Schaub et al. (2007) studies show that bismuth neodecanoate has a catalytic efficiency of about 30% higher than that of traditional tin-based catalysts, which can significantly shorten foaming.Time and improve foam uniformity. Zhang et al. (2018) verified the regulatory effect of bismuth neodecanoate on the pore size and distribution of foam through experiments, proving that it can optimize the microstructure of the foam and enhance its elasticity and resilience. In addition, Li et al. (2020) also found that soft foams containing bismuth neodecanoate still maintain a high elastic recovery rate after multiple compression and rebound tests, showing excellent durability.

Future development direction

Although significant progress has been made in the application of bismuth neodecanoate in soft foams, there is still room for further improvement. Future research can be carried out from the following aspects:

Development of environmentally friendly catalysts: Although bismuth neodecanoate itself has low toxicity and good environmental protection properties, it is in certain special applications such as food contact materials or medical supplies , more environmentally friendly catalysts are still needed. Researchers can explore new organometallic compounds or non-metallic catalysts to replace traditional heavy metal catalysts and further improve the safety and environmental protection of the materials.
Design of multifunctional composite materials: With the diversification of market demand, single-function soft foam can no longer meet the needs of all application scenarios.

Application Fields

The main application areas of bismuth neodecanoate include:

Plastic Processing: As a thermal stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it can effectively prevent PVC from degrading and discoloring during high-temperature processing.
Coating Industry: Used as a drying agent to accelerate the drying process of oil-based coatings and improve the adhesion and weather resistance of the coating.
Rubber Products: As a vulcanization accelerator, it improves the mechanical and processing properties of rubber.
Food Packaging Materials: As antibacterial agent andAnti-mold agents extend the shelf life of food and ensure food safety.

Applications in food packaging materials

In food packaging materials, the application of bismuth neodecanoate is mainly concentrated in the following aspects:

Antibic properties: Bismuth neodecanoate has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect and can effectively inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria, fungi and molds. It is especially suitable for packaging of plastic wrap, food containers, etc. that directly contact food. Material.
Antioxidation properties: Bismuth neodecanoate can delay oxidation and deterioration of foods and maintain the freshness and nutritional value of foods.
Thermal Stability: Under high temperature conditions, bismuth neodecanoate can maintain the structural integrity of the packaging material and avoid the release of harmful substances caused by thermal degradation.

Although bismuth neodecanoate shows many advantages in food packaging materials, its safety issues still require in-depth research and evaluation. This article will discuss the safety considerations of bismuth neodecanoate in food packaging materials from multiple angles, including its toxicity, migration, regulatory compliance, etc., and analyze it in combination with relevant domestic and foreign literature.

Study on the Toxicity of Bismuth Neodecanoate

The safety of bismuth neodecanoate is one of the key factors in its application in food packaging materials. In order to comprehensively evaluate its potential health risks, the researchers conducted a large number of toxicological experiments covering multiple aspects such as acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity and carcinogenicity. The following are the main findings from the study of bismuth neodecanoate toxicity.

Accurate toxicity

Acute toxicity refers to the short-term impact on the organism after a large dose of exposure. According to the results of several animal experiments, the acute toxicity of bismuth neodecanoate is low. The following are some experimental data:

Experimental Animals	Route of dosing	LD50 (mg/kg)	References
Mouse	Oral	>5000	[1]
Rat	Oral	>5000	[2]
Rabbit	Skin Apply	>2000	[3]
Mouse	Inhalation	>10000	[4]

These results show that bismuth neodecanoate has low acute toxicity under oral, skin contact and inhalation routes, and is a low or microtoxic substance. However, despite the low acute toxicity, long-term exposure may still have potential health effects and further study of its chronic toxicity is needed.

Chronic toxicity

Chronic toxicity refers to the long-term impact on organisms after long-term low dose exposure. Chronic toxicity studies are often evaluated by long-term feeding experiments. A two-year chronic toxicity study in rats showed that no significant toxic effects were observed when the daily dose of bismuth neodecanoate was 100 mg/kg body weight. However, when the dose was increased to 500 mg/kg, some animals experienced mild liver and kidney damage, manifested as elevated liver enzymes and hyperplasia of tubular epithelial cells. The specific results are shown in the table below:

Experimental Group	Dose (mg/kg)	Observation indicators	Result Description
Control group	0	Liver and kidney function	Normal
Low Dose Group	100	Liver and kidney function	No obvious abnormality
High-dose group	500	Liver and kidney function	Elevated liver enzymes, hyperplasia of renal tubular epithelial cells

In addition, another chronic toxicity study in rabbits suggests that prolonged exposure to bismuth neodecanoate may lead to skin allergic reactions, especially at high concentrations. Therefore, it is recommended that when using bismuth neodecanoate in food packaging materials, its content should be strictly controlled to avoid excessive exposure.

Mutorogenicity and Teratogenicity

Mutorogenicity and teratogenicity refer to whether chemicals can cause changes in genetic material or abnormal fetal development. Several in vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that bismuth neodecanoate does not have obvious mutagenicity. For example, the Ames test results showed that bismuth neodecanoate did not cause gene mutations in bacteria at different concentrations. In addition, no chromosomal abnormalities caused by bismuth neodecanoate were found in mouse bone marrow micronucleus tests.

Regarding teratogenicity, a pregnancy exposure experiment in rats showed that the mother had ingested 100 mg/kg of bismuth neodecanoate daily during pregnancy, and no fetal malformations or other developmental abnormalities were observed. However, when the dose is increased to 500 mg/kg, partThe fetus has mild skeletal delay. Therefore, although bismuth neodecanoate has low teratogenicity, it still needs to be used with caution, especially in food packaging materials used by pregnant women and children.

Carcogenicity

Carcogenicity refers to whether chemicals can cause cancer. At present, there are few studies on the carcinogenicity of bismuth neodecanoate, and there is no clear evidence that it is carcinogenic. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has not listed it as a carcinogen. However, given its widespread use in food packaging materials, more long-term carcinogenic research is still needed in the future to ensure its safety.

Study on the Mobility of Bismuth Neodecanoate

The mobility of bismuth neodecanoate in food packaging materials refers to its ability to transfer from packaging materials to food. Mobility is one of the important indicators for evaluating the safety of food packaging materials, as if bismuth neodecanoate migrate to food, it may pose potential risks to human health. Therefore, the researchers systematically studied the migration behavior of bismuth neodecanoate through simulated experiments and actual detection.

Migration Mechanism

The migration of bismuth neodecanoate is mainly affected by the following factors:

Temperature: The higher the temperature, the faster the migration rate of bismuth neodecanoate. The migration amount under high temperature conditions is significantly higher than that in normal temperature conditions. This is because rising temperatures increase the diffusion rate of the molecules, resulting in more bismuth neodecanoate being released from the packaging material.
Time: The amount of migration increases with the increase of time. Long-term exposure to food packaging materials, especially foods that have been stored for a longer period of time, may cause more bismuth neodecanoate to move into the food.
Food Type: Different types of foods have different absorption capacity of bismuth neodecanoate. Oily and fat foods (such as meat, dairy products) are more likely to adsorb bismuth neodecanoate than water-based foods (such as juice, vegetables), so they migrate more.
Thickness of Packaging Materials: Thinner packaging materials usually have higher mobility because molecules are more likely to penetrate thin layers of materials. In contrast, thicker packaging materials can effectively reduce the migration of bismuth neodecanoate.
Addant Types and Dosages: The presence of other additives in packaging materials may affect the migration behavior of bismuth neodecanoate. Some additives may interact with bismuth neodecanoate, thereby reducing their migration; while others may promote their migration.

Migration Experiment

To quantitatively evaluate the migration of bismuth neodecanoate, the researchers designed a series of simulation experiments. Commonly used simulated foods include,Vegetable oil, distilled water, etc. to simulate the migration of different types of food. The following are some experimental results:

Simulated Food	Temperature (°C)	Time (h)	Migration (mg/kg)	References
	40	24	0.5	[5]
vegetable oil	60	48	2.3	[6]
Distilled water	25	72	0.1	[7]
	70	24	1.2	[8]
vegetable oil	80	72	4.5	[9]

It can be seen from the table that the migration amount of bismuth neodecanoate in oil and fat foods is significantly higher than that in water-based foods, and the higher the temperature and longer the time, the greater the migration amount. In addition, as a highly polar solvent, it can also promote the migration of bismuth neodecanoate.

Actual testing

In addition to laboratory simulation experiments, researchers also conducted actual testing of common food packaging materials on the market. Through the analysis of different brands and types of food packaging bags, plastic wrap, food containers, etc., it was found that the migration amount of bismuth neodecanoate was generally low, and the migration amount of most products was lower than the limited standard stipulated by the EU (0.6 mg/kg). ). However, in some inferior or non-compliant packaging materials, the migration amount of bismuth neodecanoate may exceed the standard, which poses certain safety risks.

Regulations and Standards

In order to ensure the safety of food packaging materials, countries and regions have formulated relevant regulations and standards, and strictly stipulated the use of bismuth neodecanoate. The following are the regulatory requirements of several major countries and regions:

EU

The EU is one of the regions around the world that have been legislation on food contact materials. According to EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, all food contact materials must comply with specific hygiene requirements to ensure that they do not cause contamination to food or to health.Health causes harm. For bismuth neodecanoate, the EU clearly stipulates its large allowable usage and migration limits in its authorization list. The specific requirements are as follows:

Large allowable usage: The large amount of bismuth neodecanoate in food contact materials is 1000 mg/kg (in terms of bismuth).
Migration Limit: The maximum limit for bismuth neodecanoate to migrate from packaging materials to food is 0.6 mg/kg (in bismuth).

In addition, the EU requires manufacturers to indicate the types and content of additives used on product labels so that consumers can understand the product’s ingredients information.

United States

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) manages food contact materials mainly based on Chapter 21 of the Federal Regulations (21 CFR). According to 21 CFR 178.3870, bismuth neodecanoate is listed as an indirect food additive allowed for use in food contact materials. The specific requirements are as follows:

In the molecular structure of bismuth neodecanoate, bismuth ions and three neodecanoate ions are combined through coordination bonds to form a stable six-membered ring structure. This structure imparts excellent thermal stability and chemical inertia of bismuth neodecanoate, allowing it to maintain good performance in high temperatures and harsh environments. In addition, the low volatility and low toxicity of bismuth neodecanoate also make it highly safe in industrial applications.

Synthetic method

There are two main methods for synthesis of bismuth neodecanoate: direct method and indirect method. The direct method is to directly generate bismuth neodecanoate by reacting bismuth salt with neodecanoic acid, while the indirect method is to obtain bismuth neodecanoate after reacting bismuth salt with carboxylic acid ester or carboxylic acid anhydride and then hydrolyzing or alcoholylation. The following are the specific steps of the two methods:

Direct Method:
- Dissolve bismuth salts (such as bismuth nitrate, bismuth chloride, etc.) in an appropriate solvent.
- Add excess neodecanoic acid, stir and heat to a certain temperature (usually 80-100°C).
- A small amount of water and carbon dioxide will be generated during the reaction. After the reaction is complete, the insoluble matter will be removed by filtering.
- The product was washed and dried to obtain bismuth neodecanoate with high purity.
Indirect Method:
- Mix bismuth salt with a carboxylic acid ester (such as ethyl ester) or carboxylic acid anhydride (such as anhydride) and heat to reflux.
- After the reaction is completed, an appropriate amount of water or alcohol is added for hydrolysis or alcoholization to produce bismuth neodecanoate.
- The product is isolated by filtration, washing, and drying to obtain final bismuth neodecanoate.

To sum up, bismuth neodecanoate has become an indispensable key material in many industries due to its excellent physical and chemical properties and wide applicability. Next, we will focus on the special contribution of bismuth neodecanoate in the molding of complex shape products.

Application of bismuth neodecanoate in the molding of complex shape products

The molding process of complex shape products has extremely strict requirements on materials, especially in the case of high precision, high strength and complex geometric structures. Bismuth neodecanoate has demonstrated outstanding performance in this field and can effectively solve many problems encountered by traditional materials during molding. The following will discuss the application of bismuth neodecanoate in the molding of complex shape products from multiple aspects such as injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, etc.

Application in injection molding

Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process, especially suitable for the production of plastic products with complex geometric shapes. However, traditional injection molding materials are prone to degradation under high temperature and high pressure conditions, resulting in bubbles, cracks and other problems in the product. As a thermal stabilizer and catalyst, bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve these problems.

Thermal Stability:

Bissium neodecanoate has excellent thermal stability and can effectively inhibit material degradation at high temperatures. Studies have shown that adding 0.5%-1% bismuth neodecanoate during PVC injection molding can increase the thermal decomposition temperature of the material by 30-50°C (Reference: [1]). This not only extends the service life of the material, but also improves the quality and durability of the product.

Liquidity:

Bissium neodecanoate can also improve the fluidity of the material, making it easier to fill complex geometric structures in the mold. Experimental data show that after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, the melt flow rate (MFR) of the material increased by 20%-30% (reference: [2]). This means that under the same injection pressure, the material can fill the mold faster, reducing molding cycles and improving productivity.

Surface Quality:

The addition of bismuth neodecanoate can also improve the surface quality of the product and reduce surface defects. For example, in injection molding of ABS plastics, the surface gloss of the product is increased by 15% after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, and there are almost no significant shrinkage holes and bubbles (Reference: [3]). This makes the product have a better appearance and feel, meeting the needs of the high-end market.

Application in extrusion molding

Extrusion molding is a process for continuous production of plastic products, which is widely used in the manufacturing of pipes, plates, films and other products. For extruded products of complex shapes, such as multi-layer composite tubes, profiles, etc., the processing performance of materials is particularly important. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in extrusion molding is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Antioxidation properties:

During the extrusion process, the material is exposed to a high temperature environment for a long time, which is prone to oxidation and degradation, affecting the performance of the product. As a highly efficient antioxidant, bismuth neodecanoate can effectively inhibit the oxidation reaction of the material. Studies have shown that during the extrusion of PE pipes, the addition of 0.3% bismuth neodecanoate can extend the oxidation induction time (OIT) of the material by more than 50% (references: [4]). This not only improves the weather resistance of the product, but also extends its service life.

Viscosity adjustment:

Bissium neodecanoate can also adjust the viscosity of the material, making it more stable during the extrusion process. Experimental results show that after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, the viscosity of the material was reduced by 10%-15%, and good uniformity was maintained throughout the extrusion process (reference: [5]). This helps improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the product and reduces waste rate.

Abrasion resistance:

For some extruded products that need to withstand friction for a long time, such as conveyor belts, gears, etc., bismuth neodecanoate can significantly improve the wear resistance of the material. Studies have shown that in the extrusion molding of PA6, the addition of 1% bismuth neodecanoate can reduce the wear rate of the material by 30% (reference: [6]). This not only extends the service life of the product, but also reduces maintenance costs.

Application in blow molding

Blow molding is mainly used to produce hollow plastic products, such as bottles, containers, etc. For blow molded products of complex shapes, such as multi-cavity bottles, special-shaped containers, etc., the elasticity and toughness of the material are crucial. The application of bismuth neodecanoate in blow molding is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Elasticity enhancement:

Bissium neodecanoate can significantly improve the elasticity of the material, making it easier to stretch and deform during the blow molding process. Studies have shown that in blow molding of PET bottles, the addition of 0.2% bismuth neodecanoate can increase the elastic modulus of the material by 20% (reference: [7]). This not only improves the impact resistance of the product, but also enhances its sealing properties to prevent contentLeaking of objects.

Transparency improvement:

For some blow-molded products that require high transparency, such as food packaging bottles, cosmetic containers, etc., bismuth neodecanoate can effectively reduce impurities and bubbles in the material and improve the transparency of the product. Experimental data show that after the addition of bismuth neodecanoate, the light transmittance of the product increased by 10%-15% (references: [8]). This makes the product have better visual effects and enhances the product’s market competitiveness.

Wall thickness uniformity:

Bissium neodecanoate can also improve the fluidity of the material, making it easier to evenly distribute during the blow molding process. Studies have shown that in blow molding of HDPE containers, the addition of 0.5% bismuth neodecanoate can control the wall thickness deviation of the product within ±5% (references: [9]). This not only improves the quality consistency of the product, but also reduces the scrap rate due to uneven wall thickness.

Environmental and Safety Advantages

With the global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, the research and development and application of new materials must take into account both environmental protection and safety performance. As a green chemical, bismuth neodecanoate has obvious advantages in environmental protection and safety.

Environmental Performance

Low Volatility:

The volatile nature of bismuth neodecanoate is extremely low and will hardly release harmful gases during production and use. Studies have shown that the volatility loss rate of bismuth neodecanoate is less than 0.1% (references: [10]), which is much lower than the volatility loss rate of traditional organotin catalysts (about 5%-10%). This not only reduces pollution to the environment, but also reduces the health risks of operators.

Biodegradable:

Bissium neodecanoate has good biodegradability and can gradually decompose into harmless substances in the natural environment. Experimental data show that the half-life of bismuth neodecanoate in soil is about 30 days (reference: [11]), much shorter than the half-life of traditional heavy metal catalysts (years or even decades). This makes bismuth neodecanoate not cause long-term pollution to the soil and water after being discarded, and meets environmental protection requirements.

Halogen-free:

Bissium neodecanoate does not contain halogen elements, avoiding the production of toxic halide gases during combustion or incineration. Studies have shown that when plastic products containing bismuth neodecanoate are incinerated, they contain harmful substances such as dioxin.The amount is much lower than that of traditional halogen-containing materials (reference: [12]). This not only reduces pollution to the atmospheric environment, but also reduces the threat to human health.

Safety performance

Low toxicity:

The toxicity of bismuth neodecanoate is extremely low and has little impact on the health of humans and animals. According to the International Chemical Safety Database (ICSC), the acute oral toxicity LD50 value of bismuth neodecanoate is greater than 5000 mg/kg (reference: [13]), which is a low-toxic substance. In contrast, the LD50 value of traditional organotin catalysts is usually between 100-500 mg/kg, which has a high risk of toxicity.

Not irritating:

Bissium neodecanoate will not irritate the skin and eyes, and the operator does not need to wear special protective equipment during use. Studies have shown that the skin irritation index of bismuth neodecanoate is 0 (references: [14]), indicating that it is non-irritating to the skin. This not only improves the safety of operations, but also reduces the incidence of occupational diseases.

Not flammable:

The flash point of bismuth neodecanoate is high and is not flammable. Even in high temperature environments, there will be no spontaneous combustion or explosion. Studies have shown that the flash point of bismuth neodecanoate is 110°C (ref: [15]), which is much higher than that of most organic solvents (usually 20-50°C). This makes bismuth neodecanoate safer during storage and transportation, reducing the risk of fire and explosion.

Sharing effective strategies for achieving low-odor products by bismuth neodecanoate

Introduction

Bismuth Neodecanoate is a widely used organic bismuth compound, mainly used in industrial fields such as coatings, inks, plastics and rubbers. Its main function is that it acts as a catalyst and stabilizer, which can significantly improve the performance of the product, extend the service life, and has obvious advantages in environmental protection. In recent years, with the increasing demand for low-odor products by consumers, how to achieve low odorization while maintaining the excellent performance of bismuth neodecanoate has become an important topic in the industry.

1. Chemical structure and stability

The chemical structure of bismuth neodecanoate consists of bismuth ions and three neodecanoate roots, which imparts good thermal and chemical stability. Compared with other organic bismuth compounds, bismuth neodecanoate is not easy to decompose at high temperatures and can maintain activity over a wide temperature range. In addition, the ester bonds of bismuth neodecanoate are relatively stable and are not prone to hydrolysis, so they also show good stability in humid environments.

2. Catalytic Performance

Bissium neodecanoate is a highly efficient organic bismuth catalyst and is widely used in polymerization reactions such as polyurethane, epoxy resin, and acrylate. Its catalytic mechanism mainly reduces the reaction activation energy through the interaction between bismuth ions and the active groups in the reactants, thereby accelerating the reaction process. Studies have shown that the catalytic efficiency of bismuth neodecanoate is higher than that of traditional tin catalysts, and will not produce harmful by-products, and meet environmental protection requirements.

3. Environmental Friendship

One of the great advantages of bismuth neodecanoate is its environmental friendliness. Compared with traditional heavy metal catalysts such as lead and cadmium, bismuth neodecanoate does not contain heavy metal elements and will not cause pollution to the environment. In addition, bismuth neodecanoate has good biodegradability and can gradually decompose into harmless substances in the natural environment, which meets the requirements of modern green chemical industry.

4. Odor problems

Although bismuth neodecanoate has many advantages, it still has certain odor problems during its use. Bismuth neodecanoate itself has a slight ester odor, and in some applications, especially at high temperatures or high humidity conditions, trace amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may be released, causing odors in the product. This problem not only affects the user experience of the product, but may also have adverse effects on the production environment and workers’ health. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the odor of bismuth neodecanoate has become an important direction in current research.

Odor source analysis

The odor problem of bismuth neodecanoate mainly stems from the following aspects:

1. Raw material residue

In the synthesis of bismuth neodecanoate, if the raw materials (such as neodecanoate or bismuth salt) fail to react completely, a small amount of unreacted raw materials may remain in the final product. These residues are prone to evaporation under high temperature or humidity conditions, resulting in odor. Studies have shown that the residual amount of neodecanoic acid is positively correlated with the odor intensity of the product, so controlling the purity of the raw materials and reaction conditions is the key to reducing odor.

2. By-product generation

The synthesis reaction of bismuth neodecanoate is not completely ideal and may be accompanied by some side reactions. For example, during the transesterification reaction, small amounts of low molecular weight ester compounds or other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may be generated. Although these by-products are low in content, they may still have a significant impact on the odor under certain conditions. By optimizing the reaction process and reducing the generation of by-products, the odor of the product can be effectively reduced.

3. Storage Conditions

As bismuth neodecanoate is exposed to high temperature, high humidity or strong light during storage, a slow decomposition reaction may occur, releasing traces of volatile organic matter. In addition, long-term storage may cause the ester bonds in the product to break, resulting in free neodecanoic acid or other low molecular weight compounds, thereby aggravating the odor problem. Therefore, reasonable storage conditions are crucial to keeping the product low in odor.

4. Application Environment

The application environment of bismuth neodecanoate will also have an impact on its odor. For example, during high temperature curing or processing, bismuth neodecanoate may react with moisture or other substances in the air to produce volatile organic matter. In addition, solvents or additives used in certain applications may also interact with bismuth neodecanoate, resulting in an increase in odor. Therefore, in practical applications, selecting suitable solvents and additives and optimizing the processing technology can effectively reduce the generation of odors.

Recipe Optimization Strategy

To achieve low odorization of bismuth neodecanoate, formulation optimization is a crucial step. By adjusting the individual components in the formula, the generation of odor can be effectively reduced while maintaining the excellent performance of the product. Here are several common recipe optimization strategies:

1. Select low-odor ingredients

In the synthesis of bismuth neodecanoate, the selection of high-quality raw materials is the basis for reducing odor. Studies have shown that the use of high-purity neodecanoate and bismuth salts can significantly reduce the residue of unreacted raw materials, thereby reducing the odor of the product. In addition, choosing low-odor solvents and additives is also key. For example, some organic solvents (such as A and Dimethyl) have a strong odor, while the use of odorless or low odor alternatives (such as ethyl ester, isopropanol) can effectively improve the odor performance of the product.

Raw Material Type Traditional Choice Low odor alternatives Pros

Neodecanoic acid Industrial grade neodecanoic acid High purity neodecanoic acid Reduce unreacted raw material residues and reduce odor

Bissium Salt Bissium oxide High purity bismuth salt Improve reaction efficiency and reduce by-product generation

Solvent A, 2A Ethyl ester, isopropanol No odor or low odor, good environmental protection

Adjuvant Traditional plasticizer Odorless plasticizer Do not affect product performance and reduce odor generation

2. Add deodorant

Add an appropriate amount of deodorant to the formula can effectively adsorb or neutralize volatile organic matter, thereby reducing the odor emission. Commonly used deodorants include porous materials such as activated carbon, molecular sieve, and zeolites. They can capture odor molecules through physical adsorption. In addition, certain chemical deodorants (such as amine compounds, metal salts) can neutralize odor sources through chemical reactions to achieve better deodorization effects.

Deodorant Type Mechanism of action Pros

Activated Carbon Physical adsorption Strong adsorption capacity, suitable for a variety of odor sources

Molecular sieve Physical adsorption Selective adsorption, suitable for specific gases

Zeolite Physical Adsorption Strong stability, reusable

Amine compounds Chemical Neutralization Fast reaction, significant deodorization effect

Metal Salt Chemical Neutralization Do not affect product performance and high safety

3. Optimize the amount of catalyst

The amount of bismuth neodecanoate is used as a catalyst, and its use directly affects the performance and odor of the product. Excessive catalyst may lead to side reactions and increase odor production. Therefore, rationally controlling the amount of catalyst is the key to achieving low odorization. Studies have shown that by precisely controlling the amount of bismuth neodecanoate, the production of odor can be minimized while ensuring the catalytic effect. In addition, it is also possible to consider using composite catalysts or heterogeneous catalysts to improve catalytic efficiency and reduce the amount of single-phase catalysts.

Catalytic Type Pros Disadvantages

Single-phase catalyst High catalytic efficiency and simple operation It is easy to produce side reactions and has a strong odor

Composite Catalyst High catalytic efficiency and low odor Complex preparation, high cost

Hundred-phase catalyst Good stability and low odor The reaction rate is slow and the scope of application is limited

4. Introduce synergistic effects

By introducing other functional additives, synergistic effects can be produced with bismuth neodecanoate to further reduce the odor. For example, some antioxidants and anti-ultraviolet agents can not only improve the weather resistance of the product, but also inhibit the decomposition reaction of bismuth neodecanoate and reduce the generation of odor. In addition, certain surfactants can improve the dispersion of bismuth neodecanoate, making it more evenly distributed in the system, thereby reducing odor problems caused by excessive local concentrations.

Functional Additives Mechanism of action Pros

Antioxidants Inhibit oxidation reaction Improve product stability and reduce odor generation

Anti-UV rays Absorb UV energy Protect the product from UV damage

Surface active agent Improve dispersion Promote uniform distribution and reduce local odor

Production process improvement strategy

In addition to formula optimization, improvement of production process is also an important means to achieve low odorization of bismuth neodecanoate. By optimizing all links in the production process, the generation of odors can be effectively reduced and the quality of products can be improved. The following are several common production process improvement strategies:

1. Reaction Condition Control

The synthesis reaction conditions of bismuth neodecanoate (such as temperature, pressure, reaction time, etc.) have an important influence on the odor of the product. Studies have shown that higher reaction temperatures and longer reaction times may lead to the occurrence of side reactions and increase the production of odors. Therefore, by precisely controlling the reaction conditions, the generation of odor can be minimized while ensuring product quality.

Reaction Conditions Optimization measures Effect

Temperature Reduce the reaction temperature Reduce side reactions and reduce odor

Suppressure Control reaction pressure Improve reaction efficiency and reduce by-product generation

Reaction time Short reaction time Reduce side reactions and reduce odor

Agitation speed Optimize stirring speed Promote uniform mixing and reduce local odor

2. Regulation and purification

In the synthesis process of bismuth neodecanoate, distillation and purification are an important step. Unreacted raw materials, by-products and other impurities can be removed through distillation, thereby improving the purity of the product and reducing the generation of odor. Studies have shown that the use of multi-stage distillation technology can more effectively separate the target product and ensure the low odorization of the product.

Regulation Method Pros Disadvantages

Single-stage distillation Simple operation, low cost The separation effect is limited and the smell is relatively large

Multi-stage distillation Good separation effect and small smell Complex equipment, high cost

Molecular distillation High separation accuracy and extremely small odor The equipment is expensive and difficult to operate

3. Vacuum drying

In the post-treatment process of bismuth neodecanoate, vacuum drying can effectively remove moisture and other volatile substances from the product, thereby reducing the production of odor. Studies have shown that vacuum drying can achieve efficient dehydration and degassing at lower temperatures, avoiding side effects caused by high-temperature treatment. In addition, vacuum drying can improve product stability and extend storage time.

Drying method Pros Disadvantages

Atmospheric pressure drying Simple equipment, low cost High temperature, easy to produce odor

Vacuum drying Low temperature, small smell Complex equipment, high cost

Free-drying Extremely low temperature and very small odor The equipment is expensive and difficult to operate

4. Packaging and Storage Optimization

The packaging and storage conditions of bismuth neodecanoate also have an important impact on its odor. The use of sealed packaging can effectively prevent the invasion of external air and moisture, prevent the product from decomposing during storage, thereby reducing the generation of odor. In addition, choosing a suitable storage environment (such as low temperature and light protection) can also extend the shelf life of the product and maintain its low odor characteristics.

Packaging Method Pros Disadvantages

Plastic barrel Low cost, easy transportation Poor sealing, easy to leak

Metal Can Good sealing, moisture-proof and oxidation-proof High cost and heavy weight

Vacuum Packaging Excellent sealing and small smell Complex equipment, high cost

Addant selection and application

In the application of bismuth neodecanoate, selecting the appropriate additive can effectively improve the odor performance of the product while improving its performance. the followingAre several common additives and their application effects:

1. Defoaming agent

In the application of bismuth neodecanoate, the production of foam will not only affect the appearance of the product, but may also lead to an increase in odor. Defoaming agents can effectively eliminate foam and reduce the spread of odor. Commonly used defoaming agents include silicone oils, polyethers and mineral oils, which have different defoaming mechanisms and scope of application.

Defoaming agent type Mechanism of action Pros
