Zusammenfassung:Lead-free solder paste contains more than 85% tin by weight and is priced per kilogram. Therefore, each kilogram of solder paste contains 0.85 kilos of tin. At today's approximate $14,000/metric ton ($14/kg) price, the cost of tin in solder paste is $1 1.90/kg. This represents a cost increase for the tin in solder paste of 25% in the last four months, and near 116% since the beginning of last year (see Figure 3).
