Product information "Tin - Zinc 70/30"
Tin - Zinc
Our latest development in alloy plating solutions is one that plates 70% tin and 30% zinc. Our tin zinc alloy plating solution is an environmentally friendly alternative to cadmium plating. It is two to three times more effective than cadmium and up to ten times better than zinc. The picture opposite illustrates the effectiveness of the process. Tin/zinc can also serve as a base coat for gold when plating on to steel and iron parts. Tin/zinc plates dull, but can easily be polished to high lustre with MetaPrep, MetaPrep Ultra or the Hand Polishing Kit.
Tin/zinc has the following main advantages:
- An excellent alternative to highly toxic cadmium.
- Very good corrosion resistance
- Excellent solderability
- Very ductile
- Plates a uniform thickness, even in recesses.
