Electrolytic Tinplate for Metal Package of Industrial or Chemical Use

Product Description:

1.Structure of Electrolytic Tinplate for Metal Package of Industrial or Chemical Use Description

Tinplate,  thin steel sheet with a coating of tin applied either by dipping in molten metal or by electrolytic deposition; almost all tinplate is now produced by the latter process. Tinplate made by this process is essentially a sandwich in which the central core is strip steel. This core is cleaned in a pickling solution and then fed through tanks containing electrolyte, where tin is deposited on both sides. As the strip passes between high-frequency electric induction coils, it is heated so that the tin coating melts and flows to form a lustrous coat. 

2.Main Features of the Electrolytic Tinplate for Metal Package of Industrial or Chemical 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 for Metal Package of Industrial or Chemical 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.
