The Varland Advantage:

At Varland Plating, we offer advanced Tin-Zinc plating services using an 8-station, fully automated plating line. Our precision-controlled process ensures consistency across barrel speed, amperage, voltage, and plating time, providing superior quality and durability with every project. All plating stations are electronically tracked for full transparency and historical record-keeping.

• Cutting-Edge Automation: Our fully automated line ensures that each part receives the precise plating thickness needed to meet the most stringent standards for quality and corrosion protection.

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Tin-Zinc plating is available with a clear chromate finish and offers two different inorganic sealants that enhance salt spray protection—exceeding 1,000 hours to red rust—ensuring the highest level of durability in harsh environments.

• Industry Leadership: Varland is the first approved barrel plating applicator of the MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions (MEIS) ZinKlad 750 Process, solidifying our position as a leader in advanced plating solutions.

• Advanced Thickness Verification: We use x-ray fluorescence to verify plating thickness and alloy composition, ensuring unmatched consistency and adherence to your specifications.

• Comprehensive Coverage: Our Tin-Zinc process offers excellent coverage in deep recesses and internal surfaces, providing uniform protection for even the most complex geometries.

• Industry Approved: Varland’s Tin-Zinc plating process is approved by BAE, FCA, and Lincoln Electric, meeting the highest industry standards for quality, reliability, and performance.

Why Choose Tin-Zinc?

• Outstanding Electrical Properties: Tin in the deposit enhances key electrical characteristics such as conductivity, solderability, lubricity, and ductility, making Tin-Zinc an excellent choice for electrical components and assemblies.

• Environmentally Friendly Cadmium Replacement: Tin-Zinc serves as a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to cadmium, delivering superior corrosion protection without the environmental drawbacks of cadmium plating.

• Watershed and Drinking Water Applications: Tin-Zinc plating is an excellent choice for components used in watershed and drinking water systems, as it is both durable and compliant with safety regulations, ensuring that your parts meet the highest standards for water safety and environmental responsibility.

• Superior Galvanic Corrosion Protection: With its outstanding ductility, Tin-Zinc offers superior protection from galvanic corrosion on steel fasteners, especially when crimped to connect steel and aluminum components. This makes it an ideal solution for applications involving dissimilar metals.
