About tin, unwrought

cpc code 41443 covers the industry of tin production and trade. Tin is a versatile metal with a wide range of applications, making it an important commodity in the global economy. As a key component in the manufacturing of various products, from electronics to construction materials, the tin industry plays a crucial role in supporting industrial development and economic growth worldwide.

Production process

The production of unwrought tin typically involves mining and processing tin ore, which is then smelted and refined to produce pure tin. The primary production method is the pyrometallurgical process, where tin ore is heated in a furnace to extract the metal. This process involves several stages, including crushing, roasting, and smelting, to remove impurities and produce high-quality tin.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the tin industry include tin ore, which is the primary raw material, as well as energy sources such as coal or natural gas to power the smelting and refining processes. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery, such as mining and processing equipment, to extract and refine the tin.

Production outputs

The primary output of the tin industry is unwrought tin, which is then used as an input for a variety of downstream industries. Some of the main consumers of tin include the 41444 Tin, wrought industry, which uses tin to produce various tin-based products, as well as the 41445 Tin alloys industry, which combines tin with other metals to create specialized alloys.
