Both can be obtained from an alkaline or acidic bath. The acidic chemistries are most common today. The advantages of each type are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Bright Tin<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>aesthetic appeal<\/li>\n<li>lubricity<\/li>\n<li>corrosion protection<\/li>\n<li>electrical enhancement to substrate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Matte Tin<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>solderable<\/li>\n<li>electrical enhancement to substrate<\/li>\n<li>non-reflective<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For applications where cosmetics, lubricity or the appearance of the deposit are critical, bright tin is generally preferred. However the additional of organic brighteners in the deposit can impede <a href=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Solderable-Plated-Electrodeposits.pdf\">solderability<\/a> or epoxy bonding. For applications where joining is a key design requirements, a matte tin deposit should be selected. Since the solder bond occurs with the substrate and not the actual tin coating, an underplate of a pure nickel underplate such as sulfamate or unbrightened watts deposit serves as an excellent base to a solderable tin deposit for the best possible solderable finish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:quotes@advancedplatingtech.com?subject=Tin%20RFQ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5591 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedplatingtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Submit-RFQ-5-e1646066165902.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tin plating is provided in two general types of deposits, bright and matte.
