<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1431785, member: 22143&quot;]I don&#039;t think that I would be counting silver use in electronics as adding much to silver demand.&nbsp; The primary use for silver is in a mixture to replace the traditional tin/lead mix used to solder components.&nbsp; Some countries have banned the use of tin/lead, (EU) so another substitute is used and it contains a minuscule amount of silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; Tin/lead is still widely used however.&nbsp;&nbsp; The primary metals used in electronics are copper, aluminum and ironically gold.&nbsp;&nbsp; Beyond it not being hazardous like lead, there isn&#039;t any other particular reason to use silver in electronics and I guess we will see how far the environmental Nazis are able to push this as there are no bans on car batteries which contain 1000s of times more lead in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
