Tinplate is one of the available environmentally friendly packaging materials. Tinplate is a steel plate coated with tin on both sides. This combines the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance and solderability of tin. The main feature of tin-plated steel plate is that the tin-plated layer has dual performances of electrochemical cathodic and anodic protection, that is, in the inner wall of a food can that contains a complex mixture (or weakly acidic solution) and has a certain vacuum, the potential is lower than that of the base material iron.
Tinplate is a light cold-rolled low-carbon steel sheet or strip, plated with commercially pure tin on both sides. Thus, it combines the strength and formability of steel with corrosion resistance, weldability, and Tin looks good. Within this broad description exists today an extremely wide range of products, tailored to meet specific end-use requirements.
