TETRAETHYLTIN Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Tetraethyltin is a colorless organotin liquid.

Uses

Tetraethyltin is used as catalyst for olefin polymerization and to produce other organotin compounds. It is also used in the electronics industry and as a preservative for wood, textiles, paper, and leather.

General Description

Colorless liquid. Used as biocides, bactericides, fungicides and insecticides; preservatives for wood, textile, paper, and leather. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S.

Air & Water Reactions

TETRAETHYLTIN tends to ignite in air.

Reactivity Profile

When heated to decomposition, TETRAETHYLTIN emits acrid smoke and fumes. (nonspecific -- Organic Tin Compounds) Avoid strong oxidizers. [EPA, 1998].

Hazard

Toxic material.

Health Hazard

Toxic hazard rating is high for oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal administration. TETRAETHYLTIN causes swelling of the brain and spinal cord.

Fire Hazard

When heated to decomposition, TETRAETHYLTIN emits acrid smoke and fumes. (Non-Specific -- Organic Tin Compounds) Avoid strong oxidizers.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion, intravenous, and intraperitoneal routes. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also TIN COMPOUNDS.

Potential Exposure

Used as biocide, bactericide, fungicide and insecticide; preservative for wood, textile, paper, and leather. Not registered as a pesticide in the United States.

Shipping

UN3384 Toxic by inhalation liquid, flammable, n.o.s. with an LC50 ≤1000 mL/m3 and saturated vapor concentration ≥ to 10 LC50, Hazard class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, 3-Flammable liquid, Technical Name Required, Inhalation Hazard Zone B. UN2788Organotin compounds, liquid, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.

Incompatibilities

A strong reducing agent. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.

Waste Disposal

In accordance with 40CFR 165 recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
