What is Tin Oxide:
Tin oxide is a compound formula consisting of both tin and oxygen. It is used in various trades to polish stone and give it a glossy appearance. Lapidarists and jewellers will use this compound with gemstones to reduce costly imperfections, and glass makers also benefit by increasing the viscosity of their finished products. Tin Oxide Powder mixed as a paste and used on a leather or felt buff will give a very high final polish when cutting gemstones. It is also the preferred final polish for most stones when tumbling.
It is a white polish that does a great job on all varieties of quartz, jasper and agate. It works exceptionally well on volcanic glass such as obsidian and on man-made glasses.
Many people also use tin oxide when polishing soft materials such as calcite, rhodochrosite and malachite.
Tin Oxide has long been a general purpose stone polish for both tumblers and cabbers.
Did you know - In stone fabrication and maintenance with granite and marble surfaces (like countertops) tin oxide can create a smooth surface and restore the shine so that they appear almost new. That high gloss finish is desired in brand new countertops, but unfortunately, most surfaces eventually lose their brilliance over time with use and lack of proper maintenance. Using a tin oxide-based product can easily help rejuvenate and restore those stone surfaces.
