Zinc Stannate (ZnSnO3) Smoke Suppressant
CAS Number: 12036-37-2
Featured inFlame Retardants
Zinc stannate (ZnSnO3) is an inorganic smoke suppressant and char promoter used primarily in flexible and rigid PVC, rubber, and halogen-containing polymer systems. It suppresses smoke generation by catalyzing dehydrochlorination and cross-linking reactions that reduce volatile hydrocarbon emissions. Zinc stannate can partially replace antimony trioxide as a halogen synergist while simultaneously providing significant smoke reduction, making it valuable in applications requiring low smoke toxicity ratings such as mass transit vehicles and building wiring.
Technical Specifications

Applications
- PVC cable insulation and jacketing with low-smoke and low-toxicity requirements
- Flexible PVC flooring and wall panels for mass transit and marine applications
- Halogenated rubber compounds for cable sheaths and conveyor belts
- PVC rigid profiles and fittings for fire-rated building applications
- Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and PVDC barrier film compounds
Key Features
- Dual action as halogen synergist and smoke suppressant in a single additive reduces formulation complexity
- Effective reduction of CO and total smoke density in PVC combustion, meeting BS 6853 and EN 50268 limits
- High thermal stability (>400 °C) prevents premature decomposition during PVC compound processing
- Compatible with ATH and MDH for use in halogen-free systems requiring additional smoke control
