Tin is a silver-white metal which is soft, highly ductile and malleable, and valued for its non-toxicity, resistance to corrosion, and its ready ability to alloy, solder and coat other metals.

Its principle uses are in tinplate (coating steel), as an alloy in solders, bronzes, brass and pewter, and, in compound form, in chemicals. Recent growth in tin consumption (and the corresponding increase in tin prices on the London Metal Exchange) has largely come from the Chinese electrical appliance and construction industries.
