99.5%+ Pure Tin Ingot – ½ lb
High-Purity Tin | Approximately ½ lb (8 oz) Ingot | Lead-Free | Sold Individually
Rock Shot Products 99.5%+ Pure Tin Ingots provide high-purity tin in a convenient approximately ½-pound (8-ounce) format for alloy blending, casting, solder preparation, metalworking, and other applications requiring a high-purity source of tin.
The smaller ingot size is particularly convenient when tin is being added in measured amounts to another metal or alloy. Rather than working exclusively with larger bars, customers can purchase and add tin in approximately ½-pound increments for smaller melting batches and calculated alloy adjustments.
Each unit is one approximately ½-pound cast ingot and is sold individually with no multi-ingot minimum.

Why Choose 99.5%+ Pure Tin?
Tin is widely used as both a metal and an important alloying component.
High-purity tin is particularly useful when increasing the tin content of an existing alloy while minimizing the introduction of additional alloying elements.
Common applications include:
- Bullet and casting alloy modification
- Solder alloy preparation
- Pewter and specialty alloy production
- General metal casting
- Tinning applications
- Metalworking
- Industrial applications
- Educational and experimental metal work
- Custom alloy formulation
Convenient ½ lb Ingot Format
The approximately ½-pound ingot size is one of the key advantages of this product.
The smaller format provides several practical benefits:
- Easy to handle and weigh
- Convenient to stack and store
- Simple to add to common melting pots and vessels
- Better control over smaller melting batches
- Convenient for measured alloy additions
- Allows customers to purchase smaller quantities as needed
- Easy to use in approximately ½-pound increments
For customers blending their own alloys, the smaller ingot format makes it convenient to select and measure the amount of tin needed for a particular batch.
How Quantity Works
This product is priced and sold by the approximately ½-pound (8 oz) ingot. There is no multi-ingot minimum.
Quantity 1 = approximately ½ lb (8 oz)
Quantity 2 = approximately 1 lb
Quantity 5 = approximately 2½ lb
Quantity 10 = approximately 5 lb
The Rock Shot Price shown above is for one approximately ½-pound ingot.
Individual ingot weights may vary slightly due to the casting process.
Alloy Blending
Pure tin is commonly added to lead and other compatible metals to produce desired alloy compositions.
The ½-pound format is particularly convenient for measured additions because each ingot represents approximately 8 ounces of tin.
Customers preparing bullet alloys, casting alloys, solder formulations, pewter alloys, or other specialty compositions can add whole ingots or portions of an ingot according to the required formulation.

Melting & Handling
Tin has a relatively low melting point of approximately 232°C / 449°F, making it practical for many casting and alloying operations.
Actual working temperatures will depend on the other metals present, equipment, batch size, and intended application.
Avoid unnecessary overheating and use appropriate temperature-control equipment and ventilation when melting or alloying metal.
Need Higher-Purity Tin?
For applications requiring greater purity, Rock Shot Products also offers 99.99% pure (4N) tin in an 8 oz format.
This 99.5%+ tin provides a practical high-purity option for general casting, solder preparation, and alloy blending, while the 99.99% material is available when a higher-purity starting material is required.
Need Larger Quantities?
Rock Shot Products supplies pure tin, solder alloys, casting metals, and specialty materials for individual, commercial, and industrial customers.
