Tin Chloride
Tin Chloride
Tin Chloride is an inorganic tin compound available in both Tin(II) Chloride (Stannous Chloride) and Tin(IV) Chloride (Stannic Chloride) forms. Tin(II) Chloride is widely used in electroplating, tin surface treatment, chemical synthesis, reducing applications, and specialty chemical manufacturing, while Tin(IV) Chloride is used in chemical processing, catalysts, coatings, and the preparation of other tin compounds.
For commercial applications, the exact oxidation state and hydration form should be clearly specified because the chemical formula, molecular weight, properties, and applications differ between Tin(II) and Tin(IV) Chloride. PubChem lists anhydrous Tin(IV) Chloride as SnCl₄ with a molecular weight of 260.50 g/mol, while hydrated Tin(II) Chloride forms have different molecular weights depending on hydration state.
Our Tin Chloride is supplied under controlled quality standards to provide consistent tin content, chemical composition, and reliable performance for industrial, electroplating, laboratory, and research applications.

Storage, Handling & Safety
Storage: Store Tin Chloride in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and protect the product from moisture and contamination. Tin(II) Chloride can undergo oxidation under unsuitable conditions, while Tin(IV) Chloride is highly moisture-sensitive and reacts with water. Store the exact grade according to its applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Safety Information: Handle Tin Chloride using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including protective gloves, safety goggles, suitable protective clothing, and appropriate respiratory protection where dust or vapors may be generated.
Avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes. Tin(IV) Chloride is particularly moisture-sensitive and can release corrosive fumes when exposed to moisture or water. Appropriate ventilation and chemical-handling procedures should be used. Always refer to the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact oxidation state and grade before handling, transporting, or using the product.
