Description:
Tin Tetrachloride is a colorless to yellow, liquid with an acrid odor.

The product is manufactured by reacting tin metal with chlorine under controlled conditions.

Typical Applications:

• Primary ingredient for other organic and inorganic tin based chemicals Tin Tetrachloride is used to manufacture other tin based Mono- and Di-organotin chemicals. Some of the more common are Monobutyltin trichloride and Dibutyltin dichloride
• Glass coatings
  Tin Tetrachloride is used as a hot end coating for glass bottle manufacturing and still finds application for Low Emissive Glass (Low E) and Flat glass chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
• Catalysts
  Tin Tetrachloride has limited use as a catalyst in other chemical reactions

Safety and Health:

• Inhalation of Stannic Chloride can irritate or burn the respiratory system, due to reaction with moisture to form highly corrosive hydrochloric acid. Severity of corrosive effect depends on duration on of exposure and concentration of product inhaled. Severe delayed corrosive effect on respiratory system may occur.
• Contact with the skin can cause moderate to severe burns, especially in the presence of moisture. Eye contact can cause burns and possible blindness.
• Ingestion may burn the gastrointestinal system due to formation of hydrochloric acid.
• Flammability: Stannic Chloride is not flammable.
• Reactivity: Stannic Chloride can absorb moisture from the air. Contact with water can cause a slightly exothermic reaction yielding corrosive hydrogen chloride gas.
• Environmental Hazards: Release of this material to the environment can cause harm to aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
• Emergency Considerations: Care to avoid the use of water in response to spills or in fire response should be taken as highly toxic hydrogen chloride gas can be released.
