Hydrous forms of SnO2 have been described as stannic acid. Such materials appear to be hydrated particles of SnO2 where the composition reflects the particle size.
Tin(IV) oxide occurs naturally. Synthetic tin(IV) oxide is produced by burning tin metal in air. Annual production is in the range of 10 kilotons. SnO2 is reduced industrially to the metal with carbon in a reverberatory furnace at 1200–1300 °C.
SnO2 is insoluble in water. It dissolves in sulfuric acid and in molten sodium hydroxide. It is not amphoteric. Like rutile, it is not attacked by solutions of acid or base.
In conjunction with vanadium oxide, it is used as a catalyst for the oxidation of aromatic compounds in the synthesis of carboxylic acids and acid anhydrides.
Thicker layers doped with Sb or F ions are electrically conducting and used in electroluminescent devices and photovoltaics.
Tin(IV) oxide for this use is sometimes called as "putty powder" or "jeweler's putty".
Tin(IV) oxide can be used as a polishing powder, sometimes in mixtures also with lead oxide, for polishing glass, jewelry, marble and silver.
