Abstract: This invention provides: (a) new organotin functionalized silanes: (b) a solid prepared by chemically bonding organotin functionalized silanes to a solid inorganic support containing surface hydroxy groups: (c) a solid catalyst prepared from said supported organotin functionalized silane; (d) a process for conducting esterification or transesterification, and urethane, urea, silicone, and amino forming reaction utilizing said solid supported catalyst; (e) a process of separating the solid supported catalyst from the reaction products employing ligand--solid separation techniques; (f) reuse of the solid supported catalyst after being separated from the reaction products; (g) a continuous esterification or transesterification reaction or urethane, urea, silicone, or amino form.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition containing organotin maleates such as is obtained by reacting a mixture of a low molecular weight alcohol or epoxyalkane and of a high molecular weight alcohol or epoxyalkane with maleic anhydride and by then bringing the mixture thus obtained into contact with a dialkyltin oxide. The invention also relates to poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composition stabilized and lubricated using the said composition based on organotin maleates and also to the extruded rigid objects formed from the said PVC compositions.
