There is a Tin industry.

Yes Tin isn't as common as copper or steel. But Tin is used in many products.
Tin is used in alloys of metals. Tin-lead is only one.

less premade hollow zinc spheres.
Its an oddball metal, and is used for a few things.
I am sure you can buy zinc anodes, both for plating and for boats.
I am sure there are a few other industrial products made of solid zinc.

But today, it is rarely used for roofing anymore, and its major use is
in galvanizing and vitamins.

But if anyone knows a full line supplier of zinc sheets and profiles, I
would love to hear of it.
