Tin — A Mighty Metal

Tin isn't just a shiny metal — it's a versatile material with loads of practical uses.

Fun Tin Facts:

• Tin has been used for over 5,000 years — it’s an essential part of bronze!
• It’s super malleable and melts at just under 232°C, making it ideal for low-temp projects.
• Ever heard of the “tin cry”? When bent, tin makes a creaking sound due to its crystal structure.
• It doesn’t rust like iron — that’s why it’s often used to coat other metals.

Our tin ingots and sticks (up to 99.99% pure!) are perfect for:

• Chemistry experiments & STEM projects
• Alloying with other metals like copper to make bronze
• Tin plating to prevent rust
• DIY casting, low-melt alloys, and jewellery making
• Or just collecting — they're seriously cool to look at!

All our tin products are Australian-made, and ready to ship for your next project, experiment, or collection (more stock is being cast this afternoon!).
