By far the largest application for tinplate is packaging, and it is well suited for this purpose because it is non-toxic, lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy to form, solder, and weld; it also provides an excellent printing surface. Tin plating has a low melting point, has lubricating properties, and imparts a good appearance. Cans made of tinplate are easy to handle, dispose of, and store. ETP Electrolytic Tinplate Coil is primarily used for packaging food and beverages but is also used for containers of oils, greases, paints, powders, polishes, waxes, chemicals, and many other products. Aerosol containers, caps, and closures are also made of tin plates.
By far the largest application for tinplate is packaging (food cans, beverage cans, aerosol cans, bottle caps), which is thought to account for around 90% of total tinplate production. Existing non-packaging applications cover multiple uses (electrical, automotive, household, and construction), although none of these individual uses represent large tonnage exports. Jianhui Metal Group has been established as a forum to discuss potential new non-packaging applications for tinplate.
This specification covers single reduction electrolytic tinplate produced from low carbon cold rolled steel, supplied in coil and cut sizes, for use in the manufacture of cans, bottle caps, crowns, and other products. It is offered in commercial tin coat weight and usually with trimmed edges.
This specification applies to orders in inch-pound units (such as A624) with nominal thicknesses from 0.0061 to 0.0149 inches, or SI units [such as A624M] with nominal thicknesses from 0.155 to 0.378 mm.
In fact, as long as we carefully select the quality of tinplate and the production process of tinplate, and understand the basic process, we will avoid many problems in all aspects of choosing tinplate. So as to achieve the greatest benefits and benefits for us in the shortest time, and provide the most basic living guarantee for our factories and workers. Of course, this is not only a basic requirement for our tinplate manufacturers and suppliers, but also a responsibility for our customers.
