Frequent Uses

Ceramic and Glass Industry
As a glazing agent and to improve the opacity and whiteness of ceramics. It is also used in the production of certain types of glass, such as opalescent and reflective glass, where it enhances the durability and appearance of the material.

Electronics and Conductive Materials
In electronics, it is used as a conductive material in the production of thin-film components, such as in solar cells, displays, and semiconductors. It is used in the manufacture of transparent conductive films and coatings, which are essential in devices like touchscreens and solar panels.

Catalysis
Acts as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, including in the production of certain chemicals such as acetic acid. Its reducing properties make it valuable in catalytic applications where electron transfer is required, enhancing reaction rates and yields.

Metallurgy
As a flux in the extraction of tin from its ores. It is involved in processes that reduce impurities in tin metal, ensuring the production of high-purity tin for use in electronics, soldering, and other industrial applications.

Soldering and Electronics Manufacturing
Used in the production of soldering fluxes. It helps to remove oxide layers from metal surfaces, ensuring that metals such as tin and lead properly bond when used in the manufacturing of electronic components and circuit boards.

Analytical Chemistry
As a reagent in laboratory applications, particularly in the analysis of other metal oxides and in the preparation of tin-based compounds. It is useful in redox reactions and can be employed in various analytical techniques, including spectroscopic analysis and chemical synthesis.

Antioxidant and Stabiliser
Sometimes used as an antioxidant or stabiliser in the production of various materials, including plastics and rubbers. It helps to prevent the degradation of these materials by inhibiting oxidation, improving their durability and performance.

Pigments and Paints
Serves as a white or opaque pigment in coatings, paints, and inks. It is especially useful in creating stable, non-toxic pigments that are resistant to fading, making it valuable for industrial and decorative applications.
