Tin plating is the process of electrochemically applying a thin layer of tin onto the surface of a metal part. Known for its soft, ductile, and silvery-white appearance, tin offers a unique combination of physical and chemical properties that make it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

This finish is particularly valued for its excellent corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, and ability to enhance solderability — especially in electrical and electronic components. Whether it’s used as a final finish or an intermediate layer, tin plating improves conductivity, reduces friction, and protects underlying materials from wear and oxidation.
