1.Structure of Electrolytic Tinplate of Prime Quality for Metal Containers Use Description

Electrolytic Tinplate undoubtedly enjoys the pride of place as a packaging medium especially for food. It owes its unique position to its "nine layer sandwich structure", each of which contributes to its eminence as a packing material. The steel base of electrolytic tinplate provides the necessary strength and formability for can fabrication. The tin-iron alloy layer provides the bond between the steel and free tin layer. The free tin layer is not only responsible for the attractive bright finish and ease of solderability but is also non-toxic- a factor of vital importance in food packaging!

2.Main Features of the Electrolytic Tinplate of Prime Quality for Metal Containers Use

Appearance – Tinplate is characterized by its beautiful metallic luster. Products with various kinds of surface roughness are produced by selecting the surface finish of the substrate steel sheet.

Paintability and printability – Tinplates have excellent paintability and printability. Printing is beautifully finished using various lacquers and inks.

Formability and strength – Tinplates have got very good formability and strength. By selecting a proper temper grade, appropriate formability is obtained for different applications as well as the required strength after forming.

Corrosion resistance – Tinplate has got good corrosion resistance. By selecting a proper coating weight, appropriate corrosion resistance is obtained against container contents. Coated items should meet 24 hour 5 % salt spray requirement.

Solderability and weldability – Tinplates can be joined both by soldering or welding. These properties of tinplate are used for making various types of cans.

Hygienic – Tin coating provides good and non toxic barrier properties to protect food products from impurities, bacteria, moisture, light and odours.

Safe – Tinplate being low weight and high strength makes food cans easy to ship and transport.

Eco friendly – Tinplate offers 100 % recyclability.

Tin is not good for low temperature applications since it changes structure and loses adhesion when exposed to temperatures below – 40 deg C.

5.FAQ of Electrolytic Tinplate of Prime Quality for Metal Containers Use

- What is tinning and how does it work?

  Tinning is the process of thinly coating sheets of wrought iron or steel with tin, and the resulting product is known as tinplate. It is most often   used to prevent rust.

- Do you only have prime quality tinplate?

  We can supply both prime and second quality tinplate.
