Our Tin Plating Services
Tin plating (often referred to as electro tinning) is not just about adding a layer; it’s about enhancing functionality, aesthetics, and ensuring longevity. At E.C. Williams, we understand these nuances and have tailored the two types of tinning services accordingly.
- Bright Tin Plating: This technique is renowned for its glossy, mirror-like finish. Besides its aesthetic appeal, bright tin plating offers excellent solderability. It’s a favourite among industries where both appearance and functionality are paramount. The bright shine not only amplifies the look but also provides a smooth surface, reducing friction.
- Matte Tin Plating: Matte, as the name suggests, provides a uniform, non-reflective finish. Perfect for industries where glare reduction is essential, this plating ensures uniformity without compromising on protection. The matte finish is often preferred for its contemporary look and the ability to offer an understated elegance to components.

Advanced Coating and Finishing Solutions
Our prowess extends beyond just plating. We offer a suite of advanced coatings that accentuate the performance of the plated components:
- Torque Tension Products: These are vital in maintaining uniform tension, ensuring components remain firmly in place.
- Lubricants: An essential post-plating addition, lubricants diminish wear and tear, prolonging component life.
- Passivates: These smart solutions enhance corrosion resistance, ensuring your components last longer in challenging environments.
- Torque Controllers and Silicate Sealants: While the former maintains desired torque levels, the latter offers an impregnable barrier against external factors.
- Identification Dye: This aids in the swift identification of components, streamlining processes.
