William Blythe’s tin (II) chloride is ideal for use in applications such as:
Coating Additives
- Reducing agent in the manufacture of mirrors.
Electronic Chemicals
- Reducing component for sensitizing solutions used for electroless plating of non-conductors, for example in the metallisation of plastic, through hole plating in microelectronics.
Life Science Reagents
- Reducing agent in azo-coupling reactions for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, for example, indole derivatives.
Pigment Precursors
- A source of tin for the manufacture of tin oxide coated effect pigments.
Plating Materials
- Source of tin for the electroplating of steel in high speed continuous production lines
Polymer Additives
- Cross-linking catalyst for the dynamic vulcanisation of elastomeric compounds, thermoplastics and phenolic resins.
Process Chemicals
- Reducing agent in cement production, converting chromium (VI) to chromium (III).
