Tin-plating is used extensively to protect both ferrous and nonferrous surfaces. It provides sacrificial protection for copper, nickel and other non-ferrous metals, but not for steel. Tin plating is a non-toxic, ductile and corrosion resistant finish. Applications Tin plating has applications in the electronics industry because of its ability to protect the base metal from oxidisation, therefore preserving solderability. Our Expertise TPG have a number of processes available (either dull / matt or bright) to electroplate tin using jigs, barrel and selective / all over reel to reel plating.
