Tin (Sn)
Tin is a soft, silvery-white metal with the symbol Sn nd atomic number 50. It is known for its malleability and resistance to corrosion.
Did You Know? Tin has been used since ancient times, with evidence of its use dating back to around 2100 BC.
Purity and Supply:
Our tin meets the strictest industrial standards.
We are able to supply any quantity needed.
Common Applications:
Alloys:Used in bronze (with copper) and solder (with lead).
Coatings:Tin plating is used to protect other metals from corrosion.
Glass Production:Used in the float glass process to produce flat glass.
Electronics:Employed in the manufacture of electronic components.
Associated Minerals:
Tin is often found with minerals such as cassiterite (SnO₂).
Purity:
Our tin is free from impurities such as:
Iron: Alters the corrosion resistance.Lead: Can affect the malleability and toxicity.
Arsenic: Affects the alloying properties.
Sulfur: Can form sulfides, complicating purification.
