Tin Alloys

Tin is a soft, malleable metal with excellent corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and a low melting point, making it an essential material in soldering, plating, and the production of low-melting alloys. With a melting point of just 232°C, tin bonds well with other metals and plays a crucial role in modern electronics, automotive, packaging, and metal finishing industries.

Key Industrial Applications

• Soldering: Tin is the primary component in most soft solders (e.g., Sn-Pb, Sn-Ag, Sn-Cu), used for joining electronic components, wiring, and plumbing. It offers excellent wettability, conductivity, and thermal stability.
• Plating and Coatings: Tin is used to electroplate steel, copper, and other metals, protecting them from oxidation, corrosion, and wear. Tin-plated steel is common in food-grade containers and electronics.
• Low-Melting Alloys: Alloys like babbitt metal, fusible alloys, and pewter use tin for its low melting point and compatibility with lead, bismuth, and antimony, making it ideal for safety devices, fuses, and molds.
• Chemical and Glass Industries: Tin compounds are used in glass float baths, stabilizers for PVC production, and catalysts in industrial chemistry.

SSM's Role in Tin Supply and Recovery

At Shams Al Sajaa Metal Scrap Tr. (SSM), we source and supply a variety of tin-containing materials for industrial use and recycling, including:

• Pure tin ingots and residues
• Tin solder scrap and dross
• Tin-plated sheet and electronic component scrap
• Low-melt alloy returns and reclaimable materials

We ensure all tin-bearing materials are processed with precision sorting, purity testing, and controlled packaging—ready for reuse in solder production, alloy formulation, or metal recovery systems.

Why Tin?

• Non-toxic and food-safe for packaging and coatings
• Excellent bonding properties in soldering applications
• Corrosion-resistant and environmentally stable
• Enables precision alloys with predictable melting behaviors

Sustainability & Circular Use

Tin recycling significantly reduces the demand for primary mining and conserves valuable resources. At SSM, we support closed-loop recovery by collecting and processing tin-rich scrap from electronics, plating lines, and soldering operations, contributing to a more sustainable and cost-efficient materials cycle.
