Acid Tin Plating

Tin is a soft white metal, easily polished and scratch-brushed. It is non- toxic and because it is relatively inert to the organic acids generally found in food-stuffs it is widely used for coating cans.

Protection of non ferrous components against atmospheric corrosion, an aid to soft soldering, as a stop off prior to nitriding

Applications

• As a protection against atmospheric corrosion on non-ferrous electrical and electronic components.
• As a ‘stop off’ material for parts that are to be nitrided.
• As an aid to soft soldering.
