Among its characteristics are high-purity virgin metals, maximum surface area, excellent dissolution, homogenous alloy composition, fine grain structure, and up to 99.99% purity. Their tin-based castings are created from high-purity virgin metals upon strict ISO procedures. Their extensive metallurgical and manufacturing capabilities allow us to cast tin or any tin alloy into a selection of standard or custom molds to meet any requirement. Their lead-free and traditional solders on the other hand are of the highest quality and made specifically for the electronics and industrial markets. Their hot air leveling (HAL) bars have exceptional fluidity and wetting properties and are extruded to reduce dross formation.
