Tin is a white deposit that is non-toxic and
corrosion resistant making it prevalent in
the food processing and shipping
industries. However, it is also used in the
electronics industry for connectors,
semi-conductors, components, etc. Tin is
also very soft and malleable so it can be
transformed into a variety of shapes without
cracking. The metal is also used for
soldering purposes because it protects the
base metal from oxidizing thus it allows for
an active soldering surface.
Due to its dangerous practice, KPW does not
have the capability to reflow tin. However,
we have never encountered the problem of
“whisker” growth in our tin finishes. We
have solved many customers’ reflowed tin
problems using our matte tin process that is
continuously monitored in-house. We are more
than happy to plate samples with our tin
process as a substitute for your reflowed
tin requirements.
