Tin price
Tin is a versatile metal with a rich history dating back to the Bronze Age (ca. 3500 B.C.), when it was used together with copper to make bronze. Today, tin is commonly found in food and beverage cans, thanks to its ability to protect iron from rust. This is what we call tin-plated steel.
In addition, tin plays an important role in soldering processes and is used in various alloys. In the 18th and 19th centuries, household items such as pots and pans were made of tin, known as decorative tin or tin scrap. To save costs at the time, people often lead was often added.
Are you curious about the current price of tin? On this page, you’ll find all the information about this material and the current price of tin. We’ll explain where tin comes from today, how the price of tin is determined, and what you can expect when you turn in tin scrap to Krommenhoek Metals.
How is the price of tin determined?
The price of tin depends on several factors. Below, we briefly explain what factors play a role in determining the price of tin:
Purity of the Tin
The higher the tin content, the more your material is worth and the higher the price of the tin. Pure tin (for example, 99% solder tin) fetches a higher price than tin alloys containing, for example, lead or other metals. We carefully analyze this upon receipt.
World Market Price (LME)
Tin is traded internationally on the London Metal Exchange (LME). Tin prices fluctuate daily, depending on factors such as geopolitical developments, industrial demand, and the availability of raw materials. We base our tin price on this current market price.
Supply and Demand
When industrial demand for tin rises—for example, from the electronics or solder markets—the market price also rises. In the event of an oversupply, the price of tin may temporarily fall.
Quantity You're Offering
For larger batches of scrap tin, we can often offer a higher price per kilogram because processing is more efficient. You can also take advantage of our container service for large quantities.
Examples of tin scrap
Tin scrap comes in many forms. Examples include old tin cups, candlesticks, decorative objects, and kitchenware from the 18th and 19th centuries. These items are often made of decorative tin, which used to be popular because of its classic look.
Not all items that look like tin actually are tin. Many so-called “tin-look” products contain alloys with a high lead content or are merely finished with tin. That’s why we always test the material’s composition to determine its purity. The price you receive for tin depends heavily on its purity and type.
Tin can be found in the following forms:
- Siertin
- Tin scrap
- Tin can
- Solder
- Tin
