I named the OMIKRON coating process back in 1995 using the term "immersion
white tin".  As it was defined in an IBM paper written in 1984.  The term
"immersion white tin" should not be confused with white tin / gray tin as in
color.  Even though the color is bright the term is used to reference the
solderablity as stated in:

Z. Kovac and K.N. Tu "Immersion tin: Its chemistry, metallurgy and
application in electronic packaging technology". IBM J. Res Develop., 29,
726-734 (1984)


Please look it up.  If you need any other questions answered on the product
let me know.
