Tin Plating

Tin is characterized by a remarkable electrical potential. It is extremely conductive, solderable, self-lubricating, and food-safe. The tin surface also provides additional benefits such as corrosion resistance, chemical stability, high ductility, and uniform layer thickness. The silvery-white appearance makes tin a popular alternative to silver.

Because of its combination of functional and decorative properties, tin coatings are used in almost all industries — primarily electronics, electrical engineering, automotive, food, and mechanical engineering. When combined with other coatings, its functional properties can be further enhanced.
