Description: Tin is a relatively rare element in the Earth's crust, with about two parts per million (ppm), compared to iron with 50,000 ppm, copper with 70 ppm, lead with 16 ppm, arsenic with 5 ppm, silver with 0.1 ppm, and gold with 0.005 ppm (Valera & Valera 2003, p. 10). As a pure metal, tin is used in the production of electronic valves, and in the production of food packaging for distilled water, beer and carbonated drinks. It can still be used in storage tanks for pharmaceutical chemical solutions, in capacitors electrodes, fuse-wires, ammunitions, tinned iron sheets to protect victuals, sweets or tobacco etc. Tin powder is also used in (additive) manufacturing applications. Known since ancient times, tin is a silvery-white, lustrous, malleable, ductile metal. Tin's chemical resistance and ability to be highly polished make it useful for coating other metals to prevent corrosion. Hello and welcome to my auction!
