STANNIC TETRACHLORIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Stannic Tetrachloride, also known as tin(IV) chloride, is a colorless or yellowish liquid with the chemical formula SnCl4. It is used in various industrial and chemical applications, primarily as a catalyst in organic synthesis, a precursor in the production of tin compounds, and a stabilizer in certain plastic formulations. Stannic Tetrachloride is also employed in the manufacturing of glass and ceramics, where it acts as a flux to lower the melting point and improve the properties of the final product. Proper handling and storage of Stannic Tetrachloride are essential to maintain its quality and prevent moisture absorption, as it is highly reactive and can decompose upon contact with water or air. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial to prevent skin and eye irritation and other health hazards. Its versatility and effectiveness in various applications make Stannic Tetrachloride a valuable chemical, although its use requires careful control to prevent hazards.
