Tin Electroplating (Sn)

Tin is silver-white, soft, chemically resistant metal, solder-free, non-dark in air and non-toxic, so it is widely used in the food industry for the production of food production equipment.

It is also of great use in electrical engineering, for example: tinning of copper contacts, feet, housings, etc.

Bright tin coatings are glossy, soft and good anti-corrosion protection because they are not porous. They can be applied in different thicknesses, which depend on the later application of the item and the technical requirements.

Matte tin coatings are dull, silver-greyish, non-reflective surface. They offer superior solderability due to the absence of organic brighteners (higher purity tin). Low organic content, resulting in a coarse, dull grain structure. Best for: electronic components, PCB fabrication, and high-temperature soldering applications.

Tin plating process is performed on the barrel line for small parts and on the rack line for larger parts.

maximum dimensions of the item:

• length: 2.200 mm
• height: 900 mm
• width: 450 mm

The most common applications are the electrical industry, copper cable lugs, boxes, connectors, contacts, sheets, copper power rails,…

Tin coatings can be applied to: steel, copper, brass (nickel underlayment), stainless steel, aluminum
