Stannous Chloride Dihydrate

Powerful Reducing Activity – Stannous chloride dihydrate is a high-efficiency inorganic reducing agent with stable reduction performance. It is indispensable for controlled redox reactions in organic synthesis, chemical analysis and industrial refining processes.

Adjustable Stability & Solubility – Freely soluble in water and hydrochloric acid for easy solution preparation. Prone to hydrolysis and aerial oxidation, its chemical stability can be precisely maintained via acid modulation or tin particle addition, enabling controllable industrial operation.

Diversified Product Forms – Available in both dihydrated and anhydrous specifications. The hydrated form suits aqueous-phase processing, while

Multi-Functional Industrial Compatibility – Integrates reducing, bleaching, sensitizing and mordanting properties, delivering versatile functional value across electroplating, textile, fine chemical, food and rubber industries.

Product Description

Stannous Chloride Dihydrate is a colorless flaky monoclinic crystal. It loses crystalline water at 100°C and features moderate density and low melting point for convenient processing. Manufactured via tin and hydrochloric acid reaction followed by crystallization, it boasts high purity and stable batch quality, serving as a cost-effective industrial tin salt.

Application Scenarios

Electroplating & Surface Treatment – Widely used for tin plating and copper-tin alloy plating of mechanical parts. It acts as a sensitizer for ABS plastic electroplating, effectively enhancing coating adhesion and avoiding peeling defects.

Textile & Fine Chemical Industry – Functions as a dyeing mordant and discharge printing resisting agent in textiles. It also serves as a reducing bleacher and key intermediate for dye synthesis, plus a functional additive for ultra-high-pressure lubricants and mirror silvering sensitization.

Advanced & Food-Grade Usage – Applied as an organic reaction catalyst and butyl rubber vulcanization activator. With qualified food-grade purity, it acts as a safe antioxidant and stabilizer for fruit juice and canned food preservation, also applicable in pharmaceutical synthesis and fragrance formulation.
