04 · Handling and storage
Storing and handling Fenbutatin oxide
Incompatible materials
Water causes conversion of fenbutatin oxide to tris(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyl)tin hydroxide which is reconverted to the parent compound slowly at room temperature and rapidly at 98 °C.

Reactivity
FENBUTATIN OXIDE is in the family of tin compounds widely used as stabilizers for plastics, additives to paint(as antifouling agents). Some have catalytic properties. Examples include butyl tin, dibutyl tin oxide. Their main hazard is associated with their high toxicity, in skin adsorption or inhalation.

Safety Data Sheet
Getting an SDS for Fenbutatin oxide
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 Fenbutatin oxide 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.
