Product Introduction
Tin(IV) Chloride (CAS 10026-06-9), also known as Stannic Chloride, is a colorless to slightly yellow fuming liquid. It is a highly reactive inorganic compound that fumes strongly in moist air due to the release of hydrogen chloride gas. Tin(IV) Chloride (CAS 10026-06-9) is a classic Lewis acid used extensively in industrial chemistry. It is completely miscible with many organic solvents such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol. Its unique ability to form stable complexes with organic molecules makes it an indispensable tool for chemical synthesis and material engineering.

Applications
Organic Synthesis Catalyst Acts as a powerful Lewis acid catalyst in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions for the production of fine chemicals.
Glass Surface Treatment Used in the vapor-phase deposition process to create conductive and scratch-resistant tin oxide coatings on glass containers and flat glass.
Organotin Compound Production Functions as the primary raw material for manufacturing methyltin and butyltin stabilizers used in the plastic and rubber industries.
Polymerization Initiator Utilized as a co-catalyst or initiator in the cationic polymerization of various monomers for the synthesis of specialty resins.
Textile Dyeing Mordant Serves as an effective mordant in the textile industry to improve the colorfastness of dyes on silk and other natural fibers.
Packaging
Standard industrial packaging options for Tin(IV) Chloride include:
-
25kg or 30kg specialized corrosion-resistant HDPE drums or glass-lined steel canisters.
-
250kg heavy-duty steel drums with internal acid-resistant coatings for large-scale production.
-
ISO Tanks for bulk international maritime transport of anhydrous liquid.
-
All packaging is hermetically sealed to prevent contact with moisture and is labeled as Corrosive (Class 8).
Storage
Tin(IV) Chloride must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent contact with moisture, as it reacts violently with water to form corrosive HCl gas. Store in a dedicated area for corrosive substances with acid-resistant flooring. Store away from strong bases, alcohols, and metals. Properly stored under an inert gas (like nitrogen) in its original container, it remains stable for industrial use.
