Fluorotributyltin Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Tri-n-butyltin fluoride is a reagent used for the selective desilylation of bis(silyl) enol ethers. It is also used as antifoulant for marine paints; reagent.

General Description

A liquid.

Reactivity Profile

Fluorotributyltin is in the family of tin compounds widely used as stabilizers for plastics, additives to paint(as antifouling agents). Some have catalytic properties. Examples include butyl tin, dibutyl tin oxide. Their main hazard is associated with their high toxicity, in skin adsorption or inhalation. Fluorotributyltin is incompatible with strong oxidizers like: ammonium nitrate, barium nitrate, barium chlorate, etc.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion. Many tributyl tin compounds are hghly toxic to marine life. Mutation data reported.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of F-. See also TIN COMPOUNDS and FLUORIDES.
