POTASSIUM STANNATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium Stannate is an inorganic compound with the formula K2[Sn(OH)6]. It is a white, water-soluble salt and a source of stannate (SnO32-) ions in various chemical reactions. It is primarily used in the electroplating industry as an electrolyte for tin plating, providing a smooth, even coating of tin on metal surfaces. This compound also finds applications in the textile industry for weighting silk and as a mordant in dyeing processes. Potassium Stannate acts as a stabilizer in hydrogen peroxide solutions, preventing its decomposition and prolonging its shelf life. Additionally, it serves as a reagent in analytical chemistry for the detection of certain ions. The compound's ability to form complex ions with various metals makes it useful in various industrial and chemical processes.
