Are silver paste cans valuable for recycling? It depends on the proportion of silver paste remaining in the tank.

Silver paste tanks are common containers in the electronics manufacturing industry, used to store a conductive paste containing silver. During the use of the silver paste tank, a certain amount of silver paste often remains in the tank. This is because the silver paste is very sticky and difficult to clean completely. Normally, these residual silver pastes cannot be wiped away by simple means such as a cloth, because they adhere to the walls of the jar and sometimes solidify and dry out.

These silver paste tanks also have recycling value because of the residual silver paste inside. The more silver paste remains in the tank, the higher the recycling value of the corresponding silver paste tank. Today, when the silver price is falling, if the silver paste remaining in a jar contains 95% silver, and the total silver paste in the jar is 100 grams, then the pure silver content in the silver paste will be 95 grams. According to the current silver paste The recycling price is calculated at 5.43 yuan per gram, and the recycling value of a silver paste tank is about 545 yuan.

Some people say that wouldn’t it be easier for us to wipe the silver paste in the silver paste tank with a cloth? The idea is good but it is not the case. During the use of silver paste, its high viscosity and rapid use in the production process make it difficult for us to completely use up the silver paste in the tank.
Over time, the remaining silver paste inside the jar will partially solidify or dry out, making immediate cleanup more difficult. Therefore, it is inevitable that these jars often contain a certain amount of silver paste after use.
