Tin plating consists of depositing a layer of pure metallic tin onto metal parts through galvanic or immersion processes, with the purpose of improving solderability, conductivity, corrosion protection and providing a functional surface with a technical silver-like finish. Quimarte applies this coating with a focus on quality, uniformity and adhesion, making it ideal for industrial, electronic and automotive applications.
Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions
Tin plating combines excellent solderability, conductivity and anticorrosion protection, standing out in electrical applications that require technical performance.
Aluminium requires a specific pre-treatment to ensure perfect adhesion of the tin, a procedure that we carry out in-house.
Although tin undergoes slight oxidation, we can apply passivations or technical varnish to protect and preserve the finish.
Although flexible, tin is soft. In environments with intense friction it may suffer wear, but it is ideal for electrical and technical applications.
