Tin(IV) Chloride Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Stannic Chloride
- Tin Tetrachloride
- SnCl4
Tin(IV) chloride is a tin precursor, catalyst and synthesis reagent for Malaysian electronics, coatings and chemical manufacturing enquiries. It is also called stannic chloride or tin tetrachloride and has the formula SnCl4.
Commercial requirements may specify anhydrous liquid, pentahydrate crystals or a defined solution. Hydration state, concentration, water, acidity, residue and trace-metal limits should be stated because the forms are handled and used differently.
Tin(IV) chloride is used in selected deposition and surface-treatment processes, tin-containing coatings, catalyst systems and organic synthesis. It is not stannous chloride, which is tin(II) chloride, so the oxidation state must be clear in every enquiry.
Send the required tin(IV) chloride form, assay or concentration, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

tin(IV) Chloride grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anhydrous tin(IV) chloride | colourless to pale yellow fuming liquid | — | Tin-precursor, catalyst and synthesis processes requiring anhydrous SnCl4 with controlled moisture. | Moisture-protective liquid packing is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Tin(IV) chloride pentahydrate | white to pale crystalline solid | — | Aqueous processing, synthesis and laboratory or manufacturing routes that specify the hydrated salt. | Confirm the required moisture-protective solid pack format with the quotation. |
| Tin(IV) chloride solution | clear to pale yellow solution | — | Coating, catalyst and chemical-processing systems requiring a defined solvent or aqueous concentration. | Solution concentration and liquid pack format are confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about tin(IV) chloride
Which tin oxidation state should be stated in the enquiry?
Specify tin(IV) chloride or stannic chloride. Stannous chloride is tin(II) chloride and is a separate product with different chemistry.
What is the difference between anhydrous and pentahydrate tin(IV) chloride?
The anhydrous grade is a moisture-sensitive liquid, while the pentahydrate is a hydrated crystalline solid used under different process conditions.
Can tin(IV) chloride solution be requested?
Yes. State the required concentration, solvent or aqueous basis, impurity limits, application and preferred liquid pack format.
Which specifications matter for electronics or coating use?
Provide the SnCl4 content, hydration state, water, acidity, residue, trace metals and any process-specific purity requirements.
How are handling and documents confirmed for tin(IV) chloride?
State the required form and pack interface. Safety, quality, packing and delivery details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
