STANNOUS FLUORIDE, also known as Tin(II) fluoride, is a white powder that is most commonly used as an ingredient in toothpaste and other dental products as a way to reduce tooth decay. Common types of failures when rubber is exposed to STANNOUS FLUORIDE include swelling, cracking, hardening, and brittleness. The rubber can also become discolored and brittle when exposed to the chemical, leading to a loss of flexibility and strength. Additionally, STANNOUS FLUORIDE can cause the rubber to become susceptible to tearing and can cause a much faster degradation of the rubber material.
