Abstract
Methods are described for determining the quality of dioctyltin bisoctylmaleate and selectively screening its use as a component or modifying agent in a polymer production process. The quality of dioctyltin bisoctylmaleate is determined by measuring the presence and intensity of by products or impurities contained in the dioctyltin bisoctylmaleate. The detected impurities are resolved by comparison to a baseline, such as a solubility limit, to make a decision if the dioctyltin bisoctylmaleate supply is within acceptable limits. Selectively using certain supplies of dioctyltin bisoctylmaleate having suitable limits of impurities, such as the solubility limit of dioctyltin maleate, polymer production efficiency, time and costs can be improved.
