Bismuth neodecanoate is an organobismuth compound that is used as a non-toxic catalyst in polymer and polyurethane chemistry. It is used in the production of polyurethanes as a catalyst for adhesives, sealants, elastomers, foams, and coatings. It works as a safer alternative to traditional organotin catalysts because of its low toxicity. It is utilized to catalyze the synthesis of thermoplastic polyurethanes and to accelerate curing in epoxy and polyester resins.

It is used in food packaging because of its low volatility and non-toxicity. It is utilized for making flexible and rigid packaging films made from polymers like polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, and PET. It improves the mechanical and barrier properties of packaging materials, extends shelf life, and reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. It is utilized as a heat stabilizer in PVC, in lubricant formulations, and in specialty coatings to improve thermal stability and adhesion.

Feedstock for Bismuth Neodecanoate

The manufacturing of bismuth neodecanoate uses bismuth oxide and neodecanoic acid as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect its production.

The sourcing of bismuth oxide is driven by factors like raw material availability and cost, production technology, regulatory compliance, market demand, etc. The cost and availability of its raw materials, like bismuth ore and high-purity bismuth metal (the supply of these raw materials is affected by mining activity, regional production capacities, and recycling rates), affect its production costs.

The usage of advanced techniques like green synthesis and nanoparticle production for specialized applications affects their procurement. Its regulatory compliance with environmental and safety standards, as it is a non-toxic alternative to lead compounds, promotes its procurement. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like electronics, ceramics, glass, plastics, chemical manufacturing, catalysts, solid oxide fuel cells, cosmetics, paints, radiological shielding, etc., affect its supply and costs.

Neodecanoic acid is another key raw material used in the production of bismuth neodecanoate. The cost and availability of its petrochemical feedstocks (the prices of petrochemical feedstocks are influenced by global energy prices, supply chain stability, and regional production capacities) impact its production costs. The changes in its demand in industries like plastic processing, rubber products, coatings, lubricants, polyurethane catalysts, RTV silicone applications, PVC stabilization, etc., govern its costs and availability. The focus on sustainable and eco-friendly production methods, as well as adherence to quality and industry certifications, further impacts its procurement costs.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Bismuth Neodecanoate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Bismuth Neodecanoate manufacturing.

• From Bismuth Oxide and Neodecanoic Acid: The feedstock for this process includes bismuth oxide and neodecanoic acid.

The manufacturing process of Bismuth Neodecanoate involves a reaction between bismuth oxide and neodecanoic acid. In this process, bismuth oxide reacts with neodecanoic acid in an oil bath that maintains a temperature of 120 degree Celsius. After this, acetic anhydride is added to the mixture, and the temperature is increased to 130 degree Celsius. Finally, acetic acid formed during the process is evaporated, giving bismuth neodecanoate as the final product.
 

Properties of Bismuth Neodecanoate

Bismuth Neodecanoate has the molecular formula of C30H57BiO6 and a molecular weight of around 722.7 g/mol.  It appears as a colorless to yellow, viscous liquid and remains stable under standard conditions with a density of about 1.145 g/cm3. It has a melting point between -50 to 0 degree Celsius, and a boiling point of 256.2 degree Celsius. Its refractive index is around 1.479 and has a flash point above 100 degree Celsius with moderate flammability. It is practically insoluble in water and is stable but incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and decomposes exothermically at temperatures around 300 degree Celsius. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in the polymer and polyurethane industry.
