Tt is commonly used with the manufacture of jewelry, semi-conductor devices, electronic components, hardware, wire goods, zippers and cast iron appliances; also as an etch resist and solderable coating for printed circuit boards.
-
Matte Tin Plating
Matte finish tin plating is best for surfaces to be soldered due to the low organic content of the deposit. Popular usage for engineering purposes in terms of corrosion protection, facilitate soldering, improve anti-galling characteristics, and as a stop-off barrier in the nitriding of high-strength steels.
-
Copper Tin Alloy Plating
These combined metals in plating are known for corrosion resistance. They are generally stronger and more ductile with high wear resistance and have low friction coefficient compared to steel. Mainly used for industrial goods and on ornamental articles in clothing, such as buttons, buckles, fasteners and cuff buttons, accessories and toys.
-
Nickel Tin Plating
The tin-nickel alloy is non-magnetic and non-allergic to the skin and can be electroplated directly on all of the most common materials. Hence, it is suitable for fasteners on garments and commonly used in decorative and light engineering industries, printed circuit board industry, hardware, automotive, electrical, and electronic accessories.

Nickel Chrome Plating
Plating can improve corrosion resistance with the hardness and durability of hard chrome providing the best corrosion protection to base materials. It is a popular coating for hydraulic cylinders and rods or any parts working in very corrosive environments.
-
Chromating
This involves an application of a thin chemical film over certain base metals or plated finishes to enhance corrosion resistance, and to strengthen the binding of subsequent paint coatings. It is commonly applied to everyday items such as hardware and tools.
-
Zinc Plating
Developed to produce a bright white finish to be used as a low cost replacement to silver; is lead free, highly corrosion resistant, non-magnetic, has low porosity and a low coefficient of friction. It has the hardness of nickel and surfaces will not tarnish under harsh conditions.
-
Zinc Nickel Alloy Plating
It has exceptional corrosion resistance on steel, out-performing other zinc alloys for corrosion protection at elevated temperatures of 500F and is capable of 1000+ hours salt spray protection.
-
Zink Iron Alloy Plating

-
Powder Coating
It is used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint, mainly used for coating metals. Popularly used in household appliances, automobile and bicycle parts among other common uses.
-
Spray painting
A finish that is superior to mere brush painting, where paint is sprayed as an even and flawless coating onto a surface. It uses compressed gas for detailed work engaged by wood product manufacturers, home and kitchen furnishing producers; in art, automotive, heavy duty industrial, chemical and marine industries.
-
Phosphating
It is employed for the purpose of pre-treatment prior to coating or painting, increasing protection from corrosion and improving friction properties particularly in sliding components. It is commonly used in the production of bearings, bushings, fasteners and other common industrial products, for automotive engines and transmission systems.
-
Metal/FDA Degreasing
Widely-used to remove oils and oil-borne soils, such as chips, metal fines and fluxes, from objects that have been stamped, machined, welded, soldered, molded, die-cast, etc.
-
Metal Passivation
Passivation is ideal for cleaning iron compounds and contaminants that occur during manufacturing, machining and welding of stainless steel surfaces, as well as provides a protective layer to prevent against corrosion, and strengthening and preserving the appearance of metal.
