What is Tin(IV)Oxide (SnO₂)?
Tin(IV)Oxide, sometimes known as stannic oxide, is a white, odorless powder which is insoluble in water and many aqueous acidic solutions, but soluble in hot concentrated alkalis.
It is obtained using various techniques ranging from transformation of tin metal, or from tin-based precursors.
It features numerous interesting properties, ranging from its excellent opacifying and abrasive properties, through its glass refining properties, right through to its electrical semiconductor properties.
Pigments and Frits
Tin(IV) oxide is widely recognized to have superior opacifying and stabilizing properties. For this reason, it is an important component of ceramic bodies, colorings, enamels, glazes, and frits.
Inks
Given its chemical and physical properties, particularly its very fine granulometric distribution, tin(IV) oxide is suitable for use as a ceramic ink.
Ceramics and Sanitaryware
Tin(IV) oxide's excellent stability provides a unique shininess and shade of white. It is precisely for this reason that it is widely used for the production of plates, containers, sanitaryware and ceramic products in general.
Glass Industry
Thanks to its chemical and physical properties, the presence of tin(IV) oxide in the glass mixture allows a defect-free finished product to be obtained.
Brake and Clutch Industry
Its excellent abrasive qualities and high stability make tin(IV) oxide an essential component for the production of brakes and clutches.
Aerospace Sector
Many components used in this sector incorporate tin(IV) oxide, due to its excellent electrical and chemical properties.
Electronics
Tin(IV) oxide is a semiconductor. This makes it widely used in the production of electronic components, on its own or in combination with other elements.
Marble and Granite Polishing
Thanks to its excellent abrasive properties and its fineness, tin(IV) oxide is widely used for polishing of hard surfaces.
