Features Of Tin Stripper

  1. Non-cyanide, environmentally responsible formulation compliant with modern RoHS and REACH requirements.

  2. Controlled etch rate ensures uniform tin removal without undercutting or base metal attack on copper, brass, or steel substrates.

  3. Low-foaming and stable in recirculating bath systems, minimizing drag-out and extending bath life.

  4. pH-buffered chemistry maintains consistent performance across temperature fluctuations (20–50 °C).

  5. Compatible with automated spray and immersion stripping lines; requires no post-strip neutralization rinse for most applications.

Typical Applications Of Tin Stripper

  1. Removal of solderable tin and tin-lead plating from printed circuit board (PCB) edge connectors prior to rework or recycling.

  2. Stripping of decorative tin coatings from automotive fasteners and electrical contact components.

  3. Preparation of tin-plated copper busbars for recoating or surface analysis in power distribution systems.

  4. Recovery of high-purity copper substrates during electronics component refurbishment.

  5. De-tinning of obsolete or surplus electronic assemblies prior to precious metal recovery.

Tin Stripper – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Tin Stripper?

A: This product is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are not assigned to the concentrate. Full ingredient disclosure per TSCA and EU Annex VI is provided in Section 3 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).


Q2: What is the recommended working concentration and typical strip rate?

A: Dilute 1:4 to 1:9 (v/v) with deionized water. At 45 °C, strip rate averages 0.8–1.2 µm/min on 5–10 µm electroplated tin layers over copper.


Q3: How does Tin Stripper compare to nitric- or ferric chloride-based strippers?

A: Unlike aggressive mineral-acid strippers, Tin Stripper eliminates NOₓ fumes, reduces corrosion risk to equipment, and enables safer handling without fume hoods in well-ventilated areas. It also minimizes intermetallic residue formation on copper substrates.


Q4: Is Tin Stripper suitable for use in medical device reprocessing where extractables must be minimized?

A: Yes — validated per USP <788> and ISO 10993-12 for low particulate and low ionic extractables when rinsed with ≥2× deionized water post-strip. Certificate of Analysis includes residual organic acid testing.


Q5: Does Tin Stripper require special waste treatment before discharge?

A: Yes — spent bath contains dissolved tin (Sn²⁺/Sn⁴⁺) and requires precipitation (e.g., with lime or sodium hydroxide) followed by filtration. Neutralized sludge is typically non-hazardous per TCLP testing; consult local regulations and perform site-specific verification.
