Bis(tributyltin) oxide, commonly abbreviated as TBTO, is an organotin compound extensively used as a biocide, particularly in antifouling paints for marine vessels to prevent the growth of barnacles and algae on hulls. It is also employed in a range of agricultural fungicides and wood preservation treatments. However, due to its high toxicity and long-lasting environmental impact, which can affect marine life and disrupt ecosystems, its use is highly regulated in many countries.
