High-Purity Tin Pellets for Thin-Film Deposition and Optoelectronic Applications
Cell Lab 4N (99.99%) Tin (Sn) Pellets are premium-grade evaporation materials used for thin-film coating, optoelectronic applications, and metal alloy research.
Tin is a silvery-white, ductile, and corrosion-resistant metal that remains stable under air and water exposure. It is widely used in the fabrication of transparent conductive films, alloy manufacturing, and as a protective coating for other metals.
In vacuum evaporation systems, tin’s excellent stability and uniform vaporisation properties make it ideal for forming compound films such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and for co-evaporation processes in semiconductor and photovoltaic manufacturing.
Ultra-High Purity (99.99%) – Ensures precise film composition and minimises contamination.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Maintains stability even in moist or oxidative environments.
Versatile Application – Suitable for coatings, soldering alloys, and semiconductor thin films.
High Thermal Conductivity – Promotes even heat distribution during evaporation.
Customisable Sizes & Quantities – Available in multiple diameters and weights upon request.

Thin-Film Research – Co-evaporation for compound film synthesis.
Q1: Why is tin preferred for vacuum evaporation?
Because of its low melting point and stable vapour pressure, tin evaporates uniformly and forms smooth, adherent films.
Q2: Can these pellets be used in e-beam systems?
Yes. Cell Lab tin pellets are fully compatible with e-beam evaporation, using graphite or tantalum crucible liners.
Q3: What precautions should be taken during handling?
Avoid oxidation by storing pellets in a dry, inert atmosphere and handle with non-contaminating tools.
Q4: Can I request other diameters or purity levels?
Yes. Cell Lab offers custom diameters, shapes, and purities (up to 5N) upon request for specialised R&D use.
You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).
You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).
If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item.
We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.
When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.
Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
