Chemical Properties: Chlorotriphenyltin (639-58-7) is white to off-white crystalline powder
General Description: White crystalline solid. Used as a rodent repellent, molluscicide, fungicide and insecticide.
Air & Water Reactions: Hydrolyzes to hydroxide in water.
Reactivity Profile: Chlorotriphenyltin 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.
Health Hazard: Toxic and irritating to the skin. Dermal exposure may lead to severe skin burns as well as renal failure and possible death. (Non-Specific -- Tin Compounds, Organic) Target organs affected are central nervous system, eyes, liver, urinary tract, skin and the blood.
Fire Hazard: When heated to decomposition, Chlorotriphenyltin emits toxic fumes of chlorides. Hydrolyzes to hydroxide in water. Stable when stored in dark with dry air.
