Electroplating:
Tin plating: Used as a source of tin ions in electroplating baths for tin coating on metals, improving corrosion resistance and solderability.
Textile Industry:
Acts as a mordant to fix dyes on fabrics.
Glass and Ceramics:
Functions as an opacifier and stabilizer, helping control color and clarity.
Used in enamels and ceramic glazes to enhance durability and finish.
Corrosion Inhibition:
Used as a corrosion inhibitor in alkaline cleaning solutions and in boiler water treatment to prevent metal corrosion.
Catalysts and Additives:
Sometimes used in catalytic applications in organic synthesis.
Chemical Intermediate:
Serves as a precursor for other tin compounds.
Fire Retardants:
May be used as a fire retardant additive in certain materials.
