Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name TIN OXIDE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Tin oxide (SnO2)

Tin(iv) oxide appears as white or off-white crystalline solid or powder. mp: 1127 °C, Sublimes: 1800-1900 °C, density: 6.95 g/cm3 Insoluble in water. Soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid. Occurs in nature as the mineral cassiterite. Used as a catalyst, in putty, as a polishing powder for steel and glass, in ceramic glazes and colors. "Flowers of tin" refers to the material collected as the result of condensation after sublimation. — CAMEO Chemicals
