Flamtard S (zinc stannate) is an insoluble, non-hazardous, antimony-free flame retardant synergist, and is increasingly being used in green applications, particularly in the electronics industry. It is extremely effective in PVC systems for cable sheathing, epoxy resins for printed circuit boards, polyamides and surface coatings. Flamtard S is thermally stable up to 400 °C; at higher temperatures (400 °C - 600 °C) zinc and tin ions exert catalytic activity that inhibits the radical chain reaction causing the flame.

Flamtard H (zinc hydroxystannate) is an insoluble, non-hazardous, antimony-free flame retardant synergist that inhibits the development of flames and smoke in polymers. In halogen-containing polymers, the material has both condensed and vapor phase action during combustion. At 220 °C, the material releases 15w% of water, then at higher temperatures (400 °C - 600 °C) zinc and tin ions exert catalytic activity that inhibits the radical chain reaction causing the flame. In halogen-free polymers Flamtard H can increase the char consistency and strength.

William Blythe Stannous Chloride is a high purity tin (II) chloride available as an anhydrous white powder or as a clear and colorless solution in customized concentrations. Stannous chloride is used for its properties as a catalyst and reducing agent in applications ranging from pharmaceutical synthesis to construction to electronics.
