- Features
- Potassium Stannate is employed as tin salt for alkaline tin plating.
- In recent years acid tin plating has replaced some alkaline tin plating because plating reaction is accelerated and may be achieved at decreased temperatures.
- Nevertheless, the alkaline tin plating process has not been abandoned.
- In electrolytic tin plating, Potassium Stannate is the preferred stannate because of its increased solubility, enhanced stability to resist hydrolysis, and improved cathode efficiency.
- Immersion tin plating is used primarily to superimpose a thin coating of tin on the surface of aluminum pistons.
- The tin pellicle is applied without the impetus of electroplating because only a surface film is requisite and the tin can displace surface aluminum through electromotive force.
- Companies manufacturing piston engines, electrical connectors, and oil country couplings are alkaline tin platers and may be presumed to be prospective customers of Potassium stannate.
