Tin scrap
Tin scrap.
What we accept
Tin scrap. Material is weighed and graded on arrival at our yard in Mina Abdallah.
Small volumes, same process
Tin usually arrives in smaller quantities than the other non-ferrous grades. It is weighed, a ticket is issued and it is graded on the same basis regardless of size.
Assessed on inspection
Because form and purity vary widely, tin is assessed against the material itself rather than quoted from a list.
Tin rarely arrives alone
Most tin comes in as solder, babbitt, pewter or a tin bearing alloy rather than as pure tin. What it is alloyed with decides the grade, so loads are assessed on composition.
Tinplate is not tin
Tin coated steel sheet is ferrous and is graded as steel. The coating is too thin to recover, so tinplate is weighed as sheet.
