What affects solder scrap price?
Solder scrap value is primarily influenced by:
International tin price
International lead price
Scrap purity percentage
Quantity available
Industrial demand from electronics manufacturing
When tin prices rise globally, solder scrap prices typically increase.
Types of Solder Scrap and Their Value
1. Lead Solder Scrap (Sn-Pb 60/40)
Contains approximately 60% tin and 40% lead. Common in PCB and electronics manufacturing.
2. Lead-Free Solder Scrap
Contains high tin percentage (often 99% or SAC alloy). Usually priced higher than lead solder.
3. Solder Dross
Oxidized waste generated during wave soldering. Value depends on metal recovery percentage.
4. Solder Wire / Bar Scrap
Unused or rejected solder material from factories.
How to calculate solder scrap value?
Estimated Value Formula:
Scrap Weight (kg) × Market Rate (₹ per kg) = Approximate Payment
However, final rate depends on:
Metal testing results
Moisture or contamination
Alloy composition
For bulk quantity (100+ kg), industrial rates may be higher.
Who generates solder scrap?
Solder scrap is typically generated by:
PCB manufacturers
SMT assembly units
LED production plants
Cable and wire industries
Electronics repair and recycling units
