1. Introduction

1. What is tinplate

• Tinned steel sheet referred to as tinplate, commonly known as tinplate, is a product made of tinning on a thin mild steel plate. The tin plate produced by the hot dip process is called the hot dip tin plate, and the tin plate produced by the electroplating process is called the electroplated tin plate.

• Because about 98~99.8% of the weight of the tin plate is steel, it is a coated steel variety that belongs to metallurgical products.

• 2, the use of tinplate

Modern industrial tinplate typically consists of a cold-rolled, low carbon steel sheet coated with commercial pure tin on both surfaces. This composite material synergizes the robust strength and malleability of steel with the superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and aesthetic appeal of tin. Tinplate finds extensive application across diverse sectors, notably in the food industry for manufacturing food cans, as well as in the production of spray cans, bottle caps, and containers for gas-containing beverages. It also serves as a key material in various non-food applications, including packaging materials and non-packaging uses such as home appliances, toys, stationery, and engineering components.

We are a leading manufacturer of tinplate sheet coils, headquartered in Shandong province. Our production adheres to stringent standards such as GB/T 2520-2000, JIS G3303-2002, and DIN EN 10203-1991. Our tinplate is widely utilized in packaging applications for food, beverages, paints, oils, aerosols, and various everyday items. Additionally, it serves critical roles in manufacturing bottle caps, automotive components, and batteries.

Our commitment to quality is reinforced by our ISO9001:2000 certification and a robust quality management system. To ensure superior product outcomes, we continuously upgrade our manufacturing capabilities with cutting-edge technologies and equipment. For instance, our electrolytic tinning lines incorporate advanced Nippon Steel technology from Japan, while our state-of-the-art electrostatic oilers enable customizable oil finishes tailored to specific customer requirements. This approach significantly minimizes potential issues such as scratches and corrosion on our tinplate sheet coils, thereby enhancing overall product durability and performance.

2. Features of ETP Products

(1) Features of ETP Products

• Excellent Corrosion Resistance

By selecting a proper coating weight, appropriate corrosion resistance is obtained against container contents.

• Excellent Paintability & Printability

Printing is beautifully finished using various lacquers and inks.

• Excellent Solderability & Weldability

TIN PLATE is widely used for making various types of cans by soldering or welding.

• Excellent Formability & Strength

By selecting a proper temper grade, appropriate formability is obtained for various applications as well as the required strength after forming.

• Beautiful Appearance

Electrolytic ETP 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.

(2) Features of TFS Products

• Excellent paint adhesion

TFS has excellent paint adhesion properties that far surpass those of ETP, allowing its use for making DRD cans and adhesive bonded cans.

• Excellent heat resistance

High-temperature baking causes neither discoloration nor deterioration in material properties.

• Excellent resistance to Sulphur Blackening

The metallic chromium in TFS has excellent sulphide resistance property when canning protein-rich foodstuff such as fish. TFS compensates for the expensive sulphur resistant lacquer.

• Better filiform rust resistance

TFS has a excellent under film corrosion resistance.

• Better alkali resistance

The coating in TFS is not amphoteric. Alkaline products such as detergents and dispersion colours can be packed in TFS with advantage.

4. Product Standard

• ETP

ETP orders are placed with Baosteel in accordance with Q/BQB 450-2009 standard which uses in a non-equivalent to JIS G 3303:2008, DIN EN 10202:2001, EN 10203 standards.

• TFS

TFS orders are placed with Baosteel in accordance with Q/BQB 455-2009 standard which uses in a non-equivalent to JIS G 3315:2008, DIN EN 10202:2001, EN 10203 standards.

5. Usage Precautions for ETP

• As ETP is covered by soft metallic tin coatings, due precautions should be taken not to cause scratches by rough handling or vibration during transportation.
• Paintability, printability, solderability, and mechanical properties of ETP tend to 收deteriorate as time elapses after production. Use as soon as possible after delivery.
• Although ETP has excellent corrosion resistance, it tends to rust in a humid atmosphere. Use as soon as possible after unpacking.
• Tin is dissolved by a strongly alkaline solution. When using ETP for making cans for alkaline contents, paint the internal surface.
• As contents that contain sulfur cause blackening of the ETP surface, paint the internal surface.
