Zinc Stannate (ZnSnO3) Smoke Suppressant

CAS Number: 12036-37-2

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

appearanceWhite powder
moisture (%)<0.5
ZnO content (%)32–34
SnO2 content (%)64–66
particle size D50 (µm)1–5
decomposition temperature (°C)>400

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
