Stannous chloride anhydrous is a particle with a particle size of 3-6 microns and a melting point of 8°C. It has been shown in toxicity studies to be non-toxic to rats and rabbits when administered orally. Stannous chloride anhydrous is a coordination compound that contains stannous ion, which is coordinated by four sulfur atoms and two nitrogen atoms. The molecule can also have different geometries depending on the solvent used; for example, in trifluoroacetic acid, it adopts a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Stannous chloride anhydrous has been shown to inhibit enzymes such as pepsin, chymotrypsin, and trypsin. This inhibition may be due to its ability to bind covalently with these enzymes.

Stability Moisture Sensitive Applications Tin (II) Chloride (in dilute solutions of HCl) is used as a reductant, and is utilized to prepare surfaces for electroless plating. Tin (II) Chloride is also used as a mordant in the textile industry because of its ability to form an insoluble precipitate with the dye, ultimately fixing it into the fiber. Tin (II) Chloride is also a reagent that is known to produce DNA damage in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Cohen, R., et al.: J. Electrochem. Soc., 119, 433 (1972); Jothi, D.: Autex. Res.

Tin(II) chloride is widely used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, for example conversion of quinones into hydroquinones, nitroaromatics into aromatic amines, and in Stephen reduction. It acts as an antisludging agent and a stabilizer. It can be used to reduce certain metal salts into metals, tin plating and in analytical chemistry to test mercury ions. It is also used as a mordant in textile dyeing and as a catalyst in the production of polylactic acid. It is used as a food additive, wherein it serves as an anti-oxidant and a color retention agent. It can be used in the condensation of aryl aldehydes with cyclohexan-1,3-diones to synthesize xanthenes. It catalyzes direct conversion of aldehydes into beta-keto esters.
