Sodium stannate CAS#12058-66-1
High Water Solubility: Easily dissolves in water, facilitating use in aqueous formulations and reactions.
Controlled Thermal Behavior: Loses crystallization water at 140 °C to form anhydrous sodium stannate, enabling predictable processing and handling.
Environmental Reactivity: Reacts with carbon dioxide from the air to form sodium carbonate and tin hydroxide, allowing versatile chemical applications.
Stable Physical Form: Available as colorless hexagonal plate-like crystals or white powder, providing consistent quality and ease of storage.
Sodium stannate is an inorganic compound, appearing as colorless hexagonal plate-like crystals or a white powder. It is soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol and acetone. Upon heating to 140°C, it loses its water of crystallization to form its anhydrous form. It absorbs carbon dioxide from the air to form sodium carbonate and tin hydroxide.
