What is Tin Used for

High-purity tin is mainly used for compound semiconductor doping elements, high purity alloy, such as superconducting solder.  Elemental tin has low toxicity, but most of it’s compounds are toxic. Security: it has a stimulating effect on the eyes, skin and mucous membranes.
The most important salt is the chloride, which is used as a reducing agent and as a mordant in calico printing. Tin salts sprayed onto glass are used to produce electrically conductive coatings.
These have been used for panel lighting and for frost-free windshields. Most window glass is now made by floating molten glass on molten tin (float glass) to produce a flat surface (Pilkington process).
High-purity tin is mainly used for compound semiconductor doping elements, high purity alloy, such as superconducting solder.
Security:it has a stimulating effect on the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. It is widely used in manufacturing porous bronze bearings self-lubricated, structural parts of powder metallurgy, friction discs, sheathing boards of brakes, clutches, metal-graphite electric brushes, diamond grinding wheels, bronze filters, and also used as the additives of rubbers and plastics, and in the production of chemicals.
