Sn 99.90% High Purity Tin Ingot

These are refined tin ingots at a minimum purity of 99.90%, with the bright silver-white appearance that distinguishes refined tin from oxidised or recovered metal. Tin is a soft, highly malleable metal with a low melting point, which is precisely why it became the base of solders and why it is still specified where a joint has to form at a temperature the components can survive.

The purity figure carries more weight here than in most base metals because tin is very sensitive to contamination by lead and by other low-melting elements. A tenth of a percent of the wrong element changes the melting range and the mechanical behaviour of the solder, and in food-contact applications it can decide whether the material meets a regulatory limit at all.

Refined tin ingots are used in:

• Lead-free and tin-lead solders for electronics
• Tinplate and food-contact packaging
• Bronze and other copper alloy production
• Chemical and organotin manufacture
• Float glass production and specialty coatings

State the intended alloy or solder composition rather than the tin grade alone. A solder manufacturer will care about the lead and antimony levels in the base metal because those carry straight into the finished alloy; a tinplate producer will care about surface quality and consistent ingot weight for the plating line.

For an enquiry, include the tonnage, the ingot weight your equipment handles, the packing form and the destination port. If your finished product is subject to a food-contact or electronics regulation, say so at quotation stage so the lot certificate can be checked against the relevant limits.

Ingots are stacked and strapped in bundles, palletised, or loaded loose to suit your works. Whichever form you take, the bundle weight is stated on the packing list so your receiving team can plan unloading before the container arrives.

Every lot ships with a certificate of analysis stating the full chemical composition, produced under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. That is more than the headline purity figure: it is the residual elements that decide whether two lots at the same stated purity behave the same way in your process.

You can nominate an independent inspection agency — SGS and BV are the two we handle most often — for pre-shipment sampling, weight verification and container sealing. The report is issued to you rather than to us, and you are equally welcome to send your own representative.

Standard export documentation covers the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, alongside the chemical composition report. If your market requires an additional declaration, tell us at quotation stage rather than after the container is sealed. See the terms of service for how inspection and claims are handled.
