Explore our core chemical solutions engineered to secure reliable corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and strict RoHS compliance across industrial applications.
In the modern manufacturing landscape, component failure due to corrosion is one of the most critical structural and economic hazards. Traditional zinc electroplating coatings struggle under the synergistic demands of mechanical ductility, low contact resistance, and prolonged resistance to atmospheric oxidation. Tin-Zinc (Sn-Zn) electroplating—typically deposited as an alloy containing 70% to 80% tin and 20% to 30% zinc—has emerged as a premier engineering standard to bridge the performance gap between purely protective zinc coatings and highly conductive, ductile tin overlays.
As a leading China Tin Zinc Electroplating Manufacturer & Supplier, Suzhou Hiyie Chemical Co., Ltd. customizes high-precision bath formulations, organic additives, and process control mechanisms that optimize the codeposition of tin and zinc. By securing a homogeneous alloy matrix, our coatings eliminate galvanic coupling risks while supplying a barrier and sacrificial coating that withstands aggressive chloride-rich environments.
Tin-Zinc alloy coatings exhibit exceptional solderability, low electrical contact resistance, and superb ductility, rendering them the coating of choice for complex connector pins, automotive braking components, earth connectors, and critical military assemblies.
The 70Sn/30Zn eutectic structure guarantees an optimal balance between the sacrificial corrosion properties of zinc and the noble, solderable protective properties of tin.

Leveraging institutional expertise, modern logistics, and green chemistry to protect your supply chain.
The company introduces a large number of staff, sales, and engineering talents who are directly responsible for ensuring customer satisfaction, troubleshooting line anomalies, and maintaining quality.
Our adaptable and responsive R&D mechanism allows us to satisfy the most demanding and specific chemical and environmental requirements of our global customers.
We deploy state-of-the-art chemical formulations built upon a philosophy of eco-friendly operations, replacing hazardous heavy metals with reliable alternatives.
We field a professional pre-sale, installation, and after-sale support team to offer deep engineering consultation, custom bath analysis, and logistical support.
The global raw material landscape demands modern factories that guarantee consistent chemical purity and high logistical throughput. Suzhou Hiyie has actively aligned with the China Factory 4.0 industrial strategy. By automating chemical synthesis, maintaining exact temperature controls during reaction phases, and employing automated batch packaging systems, we ensure that every single batch of electroplating additive meets strict standard deviations.
Our resilience is underpinned by localized raw material sourcing in China's prime chemical corridors, mitigating international supply line disruptions. With dedicated logistics channels and strategic warehousing near key shipping ports (Shanghai and Ningbo), we offer global OEMs reduced lead times, seamless customs clearance, and dynamic demand-responsive buffer stock management.
All production processes are certified under ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and ISO 14001:2015 for environmental compliance. Continuous ICP-OES elemental analysis is performed to ensure zero heavy metal cross-contamination across all brightener, carrier, and passivating agent shipments.
We enforce rigorous chemical testing parameters on every supply run:
Applying high-purity surface engineering chemistry to resolve modern engineering pain points.
In New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), dissimilar metals like aluminum structural frames and copper conductors are increasingly bolted together. This creates massive galvanic corrosion risks. Tin-Zinc electroplating acts as a neutralizing interface barrier, bringing the galvanic potential difference below 100 mV and preventing rapid localized decay of critical electrical joints.
High-tensile fasteners (Grade 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9) are highly susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement when coated using strong acid zinc solutions. Our alkaline, low-embrittlement tin-zinc formulations allow optimal hydrogen release during standard baking cycles, preserving the structural integrity and thread tolerance of high-tensile fasteners.
Outdoor power line connectors, grounding rods, and electrical switchgear housings suffer constant exposure to sulfur compounds and humidity. Tin-zinc plating delivers stable electrical contact resistance over years of weathering, protecting critical public utility networks from overheating and power losses.
