Stannous Chloride Anhydrous or SnCl2 is widely used as a reducing agent (in acid solution), palladium-tin catalyst, and in electrolytic baths for tin-plating. It is commonly used in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) industry. Other uses include as a lube oil additive; tin galvanizing and as a reducing agent in the manufacture of polymers and dyes and printing textiles; in the manufacture of stannous salts (particularly the oxide, sulphate, octoate and 2- ethyl hexotate); in manufacture of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals as a reducing agent; as a reducing agent in the extraction and purification of precious metals; surface sensitizer prior to silvering in the manufacture of mirrors; electroplating; as a catalyst in the production of the plastic polylactic acid (PLA).
