 What are the proper storage conditions for tin ingots?

1. 1.
   ​​Environmental Control​​
   • •
     Temperature: 15-30°C (avoid extreme heat/cold)
   • •
     Humidity: <60% RH (prevent oxidation)
   • •
     Ventilation: Good air circulation
2. 2.
   ​​Packaging Protection​​
   • •
     Original factory packaging (oil-paper/vinyl)
   • •
     Secondary protection: Wooden crates/pallets
   • •
     Sealed containers for long-term storage
3. 3.
   ​​Storage Practices​​
   • •
     Dry, clean warehouse (away from chemicals)
   • •
     Elevated storage (avoid ground contact)
   • •
     First-in-first-out inventory management
4. 4.
   ​​Protection Measures​​
   • •
     Desiccants for humidity control
   • •
     Vapor phase inhibitors (VPI) for long-term
   • •
     Regular inspection for oxidation
5. 5.
   ​​Special Considerations​​
   • •
     High-purity tin: Argon-purged containers
   • •
     Ocean transport: Special corrosion protection
   • •
     Temperature-sensitive alloys: Climate-controlled

• •
  Properly stored: 12-24 months
• •
  Oxidized surface: Can be skimmed before use
