Electroplating can also commonly be referred to as coating or finishing and is a process that applies a top coat to electrical connectors—providing exceptional corrosion protection. This finish can be either matte (dull) or bright (shiny). Depending on your business needs, each finish has its own qualities. Midwest Plating Company can accommodate orders for both bright tin plating and matte tin plating.
