Tetrabutyltin: Code of practice overview

The code of practice for the management of tetrabutyltin in Canada has been in effect since November 5, 2011.

Objective

This code of practice aims to minimize releases of tetrabutyltin to the aquatic environment by identifying best management procedures and practices for activities involving the import, distribution, manufacture and use of tetrabutyltin.

Target audience

The code of practice applies to importers, distributers, manufacturers and users of tetrabutylin. The code of practice does not apply to importers of the substance as a component of dry blended vinyl compounds, or to the transportation of tetrabutyltin, which is addressed by the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR).
