Safety Data Sheet

Getting an SDS for Trichloromethylstannane

A Safety Data Sheet is written for a product, not for a substance: the supplier of the grade you actually buy issues it, so two suppliers of Trichloromethylstannan… issue two different sheets. That is why there is no single authoritative SDS for a substance to download — what there is, is the job of collecting the sheets for the products you hold and keeping them current as suppliers revise them.

04 · Precautionary statements

Trichloromethylstannane precautionary statements

CLP Annex VI assigns 4 precautionary statements to Trichloromethylstannane. They are grouped the way a label groups them: what to do before handling, what to do when something has already happened, how to store it and how to dispose of it.

Response

What to do once exposure, spillage or fire has already happened.

05 · Names in the regulation

Trichloromethylstannane name in 23 EU languages

CLP Annex VI Part 3 is published in every language edition of the regulation, and the identification column is written out in each of them. Nothing below is translated by us: each line is the name as that edition prints it. Under Art. 18(2) the substance name from Annex VI is a lawful product identifier, so this is the wording to put on a label going to that market — and where the cell lists several designations, any one of them qualifies.

Irish is the twenty-fourth official EU language and has no line here for a different reason: no consolidated CLP text has ever been published in Irish, so there is no Irish edition of Annex VI to quote a name from.

Trichloromethylstannane occupational exposure limits

US occupational exposure limits reported for Trichloromethylstannane. PEL is enforceable (OSHA), REL is a recommendation (NIOSH), IDLH is the concentration at which escape becomes impossible without injury.
Limit Value Source
PEL 0.1 [mg/m3], as Sn Haz-Map, Information on Hazardous Chemicals and Occupational Diseases
IDLH 25.0 [mg/m3], as Sn Haz-Map, Information on Hazardous Chemicals and Occupational Diseases

These are United States values. The European Union sets its own indicative and binding limits, and the figure that applies at a given workplace is the one in the local regulation — not the one shown here.

What does a Trichloromethylstannane label have to show?

Under CLP Annex VI the label for Trichloromethylstannane carries the pictogram Health hazard and the signal word is Warning.

Is Trichloromethylstannane flammable?

CLP Annex VI assigns Trichloromethylstannane no flammability hazard class. That is not a statement that it cannot burn: the harmonised list only records the hazards that were assessed for it.

Is Trichloromethylstannane a carcinogen?

CLP Annex VI records no harmonised carcinogenicity classification for Trichloromethylstannane. Annex VI is a list of agreed classifications, not a list of substances found safe, so this is an absence of a classification rather than a clean bill of health.

What is the exposure limit for Trichloromethylstannane?

The US occupational exposure limit reported for Trichloromethylstannane is 0.1 [mg/m3], as Sn (Haz-Map, Information on Hazardous Chemicals and Occupational Diseases). Limits differ by country: the EU sets its own indicative and binding values, and the figure that applies at a given workplace is the one in the local regulation.
