Abstract
Organotin compounds have been widely used in various industrial applications, including catalysts, glass coatings, antifouling paints, and polymer stabilization, particularly for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). However, growing concerns over their environmental toxicity and potential health risks have raised serious questions about their continued use. Despite extensive research demonstrating their effectiveness as light and heat stabilizers, the detrimental impact of tin-based complexes on human health and ecosystems cannot be overlooked. This review explores past research on tin complexes, assessing their effectiveness in polymer stabilization and discussing why their future application should be reconsidered. Given the rising demand for sustainable and non-toxic alternatives, the future of organotin compounds in polymer applications is uncertain, and regulatory restrictions may eventually lead to their phase-out.
