Tin tetrachloride that can be used to produce pearlescent pigments

Thread Content

Pearl pigments are pigments that exhibit a pearl-like luster due to angle-dependent optical effects. They are resistant to acidic and alkaline media, and maintain thermal stability even at temperatures up to 800°C. Furthermore, they are non-flammable, do not ignite on their own, are non-conductive, and are harmless to human health. Therefore, mica-based pearlescent pigments can be used in almost all thermoplastics, cosmetics, food packaging, children’s toys, paints, and automotive coatings. Pearl pigments possess a unique optical effect, which can be produced both through the reflection of materials with high refractive indices and through interference effects. Pearlescent pigments are divided into two types: substrate-free pearlescent pigments and layered pearlescent pigments (which account for 90% of the market). Stannic chloride is an inorganic tin catalyst in our product portfolio. TMG is available in two forms: pentahydrate and anhydrous tin chloride. It is a well-known raw material for producing mainstream organic tin products, and it has a wide range of industrial applications. • Tin plating • Pearl pigment production • Thermal glass coating • Dyeing industry • Raw materials for organotin compounds
