Batson's #17 Promoter (Cat. 02610), also identified as Promoter C in the Batson's #17 procedure, is the liquid promoter component used with the #17 Monomer Base Solution and Catalyst to prepare room-temperature anatomical corrosion casts. It is included in Batson's #17 Anatomical Corrosion Kit (Cat. 07349).
Related names: Batson's No. 17 Promoter; Promoter C.
The Batson's #17 resin system combines the Monomer Base Solution, Catalyst, and promoter to allow curing at room temperature after injection. Promoter and Catalyst levels influence polymerization rate and can be adjusted within the established procedure to modify setting time.
As part of the complete Batson's #17 system, the promoter is used in preparation of corrosion casts for vascularized organs, anatomical cavities, comparative demonstrations, and scanning electron microscopy studies.

Applications
Anatomical Corrosion Casting
Batson's #17 Promoter is used with the Monomer Base Solution and Catalyst as part of the complete resin system for preparing anatomical corrosion casts by injection and room-temperature curing prior to tissue maceration.
Vascular Cast Preparation
Within the Batson's #17 system, the promoter supports preparation of vascular casts of hearts, lungs, and other vascularized organs. Red and blue pigments may be incorporated into the resin system to distinguish arterial and venous structures.
Hollow-Organ & Cavity Replicas
The complete casting system may be used to reproduce injectable anatomical spaces and cavities, including sinus cavities, the gastrointestinal tract, and the tracheobronchial tree.
Scanning Electron Microscopy Studies
Batson's #17 corrosion casts have been used in scanning electron microscopy studies of vascular and microvascular structures, including ocular, arterial, cerebral, and dermal systems.
Compatibility & Bonding Considerations
Working and cure behavior depend on formulation and temperature. The standard procedure provides approximately 30 to 45 minutes of working time and 2 to 3 hours to full cure. Cooling the injected specimen during curing helps dissipate polymerization heat and limit expansion or distortion.
Application Tips
- Prepare the anatomical specimen before final Catalyst and promoter mixing because polymerization begins quickly after the components are combined
- For the standard procedure, divide 200 mL of Monomer Base Solution into two 100 mL portions; add 24 drops of Promoter C to one portion and 24–40 mL of Catalyst to the other before combining
- Mix the promoter-containing portion slowly on a magnetic stirrer before combining it with the Catalyst-containing portion
- Using less promoter slows polymerization within the established procedure
- Keep the injected specimen in cold water or an ice bath during curing to dissipate the exothermic heat of polymerization and reduce expansion or distortion
Handling & Storage
- Store at room temperature in a cool, well-ventilated location
- Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources
- Use with adequate laboratory ventilation or in a chemical fume hood
- Avoid breathing vapors or spray
- Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, and suitable protective clothing during handling

1. What is Batson's #17 Promoter used for?
Batson's #17 Promoter is used with the #17 Monomer Base Solution and Catalyst to prepare room-temperature anatomical corrosion casts. It is a component of Batson's #17 Anatomical Corrosion Kit, Cat. 07349.
2. Is Batson's #17 Promoter the same as Promoter C?
Yes. The Batson's #17 technical procedure refers to Cat. 02610 as Promoter C. It is the promoter component used with the Monomer Base Solution and Catalyst in the Batson's #17 resin system.
3. How much Batson's #17 Promoter is used in the standard procedure?
The standard procedure divides 200 mL of Monomer Base Solution into two 100 mL portions. Add 24 drops of Promoter C to one portion and 24–40 mL of Catalyst to the other before combining the two portions. Using less promoter slows polymerization.
4. How should Batson's #17 Promoter be stored?
Store Batson's #17 Promoter at room temperature in a cool, well-ventilated location and keep it away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources.
5. What package size is available?
Batson's #17 Promoter, Cat. 02610, is available in a 50 mL package. For larger quantities, use the bulk-quote option.
Safety & Documentation
Batson's #17 Promoter is a combustible liquid and is toxic if inhaled. Use with adequate ventilation and keep away from heat, sparks, flames, and other ignition sources. Refer to the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete handling, storage, first-aid, transport, and disposal guidance.
