RS PRO Tin Etching Chemical for Tin Plating, Solid Crystals, 567-812

The RS PRO 567-812 Tin Etching Chemical offers a specialized solution for achieving high-quality tin plating, especially in laboratory settings and for printed circuit board (PCB) prototyping. This product is provided as solid, colourless, and odourless crystals, ensuring pure chemical preparation for technical applications.

The unique formulation is designed to deliver a bright, highly solderable tin layer onto copper tracks and other copper alloys. During operation at optimal room temperatures, a deposition thickness of 1.5 to 2.0 microns is achieved within the first half-hour and up to 3 or 4 microns over a two-hour period, supporting rigorous industrial requirements. The chemical is easily dissolved in water, with 5 litres of working solution prepared at 50°C, conveniently covering approximately 2.7 square meters of board area - ideal for single tank fills in PCB processing setups.

This tin etching chemical is supplied ready to use with detailed application instructions and is suitable for laboratory, electronics, industrial R&D, and educational environments requiring reliable and repeatable tin plating outcomes. Its colourless and odourless characteristics ensure simple handling and minimal contamination risk. The crystal form guarantees stability and consistent quality throughout storage and transport.

REACH-compliant and manufactured in Germany, the RS PRO 567-812 meets strict international safety and performance guidelines. When processed, it is compatible with RS PRO's own PCB tanks and similar setups, ensuring broad applicability in technical environments. The provision of safety guidance - advising the use of proper chemical gloves and a faceshield - reinforces its focus on laboratory safety and best-practice standards.

This etching chemical is widely used in manufacturing, electronics assembly, PCB prototyping, electrical engineering labs, and industrial research facilities where controlled tin plating is required for enhanced conductivity and solderability. Its packaging supports convenient measurement and dilution for process consistency, and the clear instructions minimize errors and enhance safety for industrial technicians and researchers.
