"Latten" also refers to a type of tin plating on iron (or possibly some other base metal), which is known as ''white latten''; and ''black latten'' refers to ''laten-brass'', which is brass milled into thin plates or sheets.

In general, metal in thin sheets is said to be latten such as ''gold latten''; and ''lattens'', plural, refers to metal sheets between 1/64" and ≤ 1/32" in thickness.
