Physical properties Appearance and ductility: Silvery white and shiny, with a soft texture, excellent ductility and plasticity, easy to bend and process. Melting point and density: Low melting point, about \(232^{\circ }C\). Density is about \(7.3g/cm^{3}\). Conductivity: Good volume conductivity, \(15IACS\). Hardness and strength: Brinell hardness is \(3.9\) at \(20^{\circ }C\). Tensile strength is \(2,100psi\) at \(15^{\circ }C\). Allotrope: At low temperatures below \(13^{\circ }C\), silvery white tin will turn into gray tin, which is powdery and has a lower hardness. Tin | Metal | Products produced by Indium Corporation - Indium CorporationIndium CorporationTin specific gravity_Baidu Encyclopedia Metallic tin is soft and easy to bend, with a melting point of 231.89°C and a boiling point of 2260°C. There are three allotropes: white tin is a tetragonal crystal system with a density of 7.28 g/cm3; gray tin is a diamond-shaped cubic crystal system with a density of 5.75 g/cm3; brittle tin is an orthorhombic crystal system with a density of 6.54 g/cm3. Baidu Encyclopedia Chemical properties Oxidation and corrosion: It is not easy to oxidize in the air. When exposed to air, a stable oxide film will be formed, which makes tin have significant corrosion resistance and is often used as an anti-corrosion layer for other metals. Stability: Non-toxic, with good sterilization, purification and preservation effects. Reactivity: It easily reacts with oxygen, sulfur, etc. at high temperatures, but is very stable at room temperature.
