For over 30 years, the JGI HYDROMETAL group – through its subsidiaries HYDROMETAL Belgium and JGI Thailand – has been a leading producer of high-purity tin (HPT) and a pioneer in low-alpha high-purity tin manufacturing. This excellence is built on ISO certifications, rigorous quality control, adherence to regulatory requirements, the exclusive use of recycled raw materials and on renewable energy.
We have developed substantial expertise within this specialized market, which plays a vital role in the electronic industry today.
PRODUCT PORTFOLIO : 99.99 % (4N) – 99.999 % (5N)
Formats and Packaging
We supply high-purity tin in 13 kg ingots and in 1 kg bars.
Our 13 kg ingots are packed in 500 kg wooden boxes and our bars in 250 kg boxes.
Ingots of 13 kg
Bars of 1 kg
Low alpha (low α) High Purity Tin
Our high-purity tin features alpha particle emission levels substantially lower than tin’s natural radioactivity. Because alpha emissions can cause failures in integrated circuits, low-alpha high-purity tin is critical for next-generation electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, supporting the ongoing trend toward miniaturization.
Our entities specialized in High-Purity Tin production
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION
Secondary raw materials
Our high-purity tin (HPT) production is based entirely on recycled tin metal and alloys – we use no ores or concentrates.
Electrolytic Refining
JGI HYDROMETAL produces high-purity tin using electrolytic refining, an electricity-powered process that dissolves tin anodes in a proprietary electrolyte formulation.
Tin ions migrate through the electrolyte and deposit as high-purity crystals on the cathode.
Following rinsing and drying, the crystals are melted into ingots or bars that meet customer requirements.
Renewable Energy
Our subsidiary JGI Thailand generates most of its electricity through photovoltaic panels, which serve as the exclusive energy source for the high-purity tin production and significantly reduce the plant’s environmental impact.
APPLICATIONS
The electronics industry’s push for miniaturization demands increasingly pure tin with minimal alpha emissions. Our high-purity tin is essential for semiconductors, integrated circuit and chips manufacturing, supporting key processes including soldering, plating, and deposition.
COMPLIANCE
Our production sites are ISO-certified:
- HYDROMETAL Belgium is ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certified.
- JGI THAILAND is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Their high purity tin production meets all applicable regulatory requirements, including the Frank Dodd Act’s Responsible Mining provisions and European Directive (EU) 2017/821, which mandate supply chain due diligence obligations for tin users.
In addition, our facilities are designated as “downstream” participants under the Responsible Mining Initiative (RMI), which exempts them from Responsible Mining Audit Process (RMAP) assessments.
