Table of contents
Tin is a kind of pollution-free rare metal, called
‘industrial monosodium glutamate’. It is widely used in tin
solder, tinning alloy and tin chemistry, among which, tin
consumption of tin solder accounts for 50%, and 75% of tin
solder is used in electronic industry. With the rapid
development of electronic industry in recent years, tin
consumption increases steadily. Tinning is mainly used in
packaging of oil paint, oil, chemicals and beverage. Organic
tin has much wide application.
China’s tin resources are mainly located in Yunnan, Guangxi
and Hunan provinces. Both Yunnan Gejiu and Guangxi Nandan
tin minings are the most important tin ore reserve areas in
China. The two biggest domestic tin production companies,
Yunnan Xiye and Guangxi Huaxi are located there
respectively.
In 2007 tin consumption on Chinese market would continue to
advance vigorously. It is estimated that with the promotion
of lead-free instruction, China’s tin consumption would
reach 140,000 tons in 2007, and domestic tin market tended
to be balanced. However, with the rapidly increasing
international tin price, tin price would accordingly go up
on domestic markets in China.
The report analysis the reserve,production,demand,import and
export and policies of Chinese tin industry. The report also
give detailed information about the finance,products of key
producers in China.
