Abstract
As a commodity, tin has weathered a severe drop in its market value, and, at present, tin-producing countries are exporting more of the metal than was originally anticipated. Tin is utilized in a variety of significant applications, including: solder, where it has grown at the expense of lead; tinplate for food cans, where the battle between aluminum and steel is still being waged; coatings, where tin-zinc alloys are more corrosion resistant than zinc alone; and chemical production, where tin is used as a flame retardant and stabilizer in polymers. Fluctuations in tin prices would most adversely influence the fledgling chemical market, where the growth opportunities for tin diminish as the metal’s price escalates.
