Tin is a soft crystalline metal that is silvery- white with a brilliant luster. It resists attack by air and by many organic acids. It is used for decorative tinware, especially by the Mexicans, and for kitchenware.

When tin is used on ovenware, only a thin coating is applied. The base metal may break through, causing rust, if harsh abrasives or sharp scraping tools are used.
