Hi John, IPC LF Listservers,

Thanks for your note and your research efforts.

<From everything that I have read, once tin pest begins, the only way to
stop it completely is to melt the material down and start all over
again...  I'm still searching for information on whether tin pest will
continue at temperatures above 13 degrees C once it has started, or
whether it only progresses at temperatures below 13 degree C.>

This is a great question.
The growth and the complications of tin pest.

The US Military and it Meteorological Group might be helpful in answering
this question, since it is important to know for electronic products under
extreme environments.

They used to be headquartered in Fort Monmouth, NJ.

Yours in Engineering, Dave
