Product Information

• Name: Tin(II) stearate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tin(II) stearate is a metal salt of a carboxylic acid. It is used as a thickener, film-forming polymer, and release agent in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Tin(II) stearate contains a hydroxy group that reacts with sodium hydroxide solution or hydrochloric acid to form the corresponding tin(II) chloride or tin(II) chloride hydroxide. This compound also has reactive properties that allow it to react with fatty esters to form viscoelastic materials at high temperatures. The thermal expansion coefficient of tin(II) stearate is higher than that of calcium stearate, which makes it useful for developing thermally sensitive films.
