Tin is primarily used as a safe, non-toxic, corrosion-resistant coating, either in its pure form or in alloys with other metals. The main industrial applications of tin include tinplate (tinned iron) for food packaging, solders for electronics, plumbing pipes, bearing alloys, and coatings made of tin and its alloys. The most important tin alloy is bronze (with copper).
