Electrolytic Tinplate Coil Tin Mill Products for Various Packaging and Industrial Needs
Tin mill products include electrolytic tinplate, and electrolytic chromium coated steel (also referred to as tin free steel or TFS), and Black Plate. Tinplate is a thin steel sheet coated by tin, while TFS is an electrolytic chrome plated steel consisting of a thin layer of chromium and a layer of chromium oxide deposited on the steel base. The coating gives both of them a beautiful, metallic luster as well as excellent properties in corrosion resistance and paintability.
We are the professional manufacturer in China with advanced technical equipments, first class inspection devices and substantial experience in production. It possesses integrated process lines including smelting, hot rolling, cold rolling and coating. The product catalogue covers ETP and TFS with an annual output over 1 million tons. Our tin mill products are widely sold and used throughout the world in application of packaging of food, beverage and industrial goods and enjoy high reputation in the international market.
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.

The hardness is the average value of 2 samples, allowing 1 of them to exceed the specified allowable range by 1 unit. | |||||
a The yield strength is a reference value determined as required. b Yield strength is the average value of the two samples. The sample is P5 in GB/T 228, and the direction of the sample is transverse. c Due to the thickness thinning effect, the elongation is too low and the yield strength cannot be measured. In this case, the yield strength is replaced by the tensile strength. d For the tensile test, the width of the parallel part of the sample is (12.5±1) mm, and the standard distance L0=50mm. Before the test. The sample should be artificially aged for 20min at 200℃. |

Typical Applications
Typical Applications including:
Consumer Packaging and Industrial Packaging
TINPALTE
ETP is primarily used for packaging foodstuffs and beverages, but it is also used in containers for oils, grease, paints, polishes, chemicals and many other products. Aerosol containers and caps and closures are also made from ETP.
TFS
TFS are most frequently used for can tops, screw and lug caps, snap and press-on closures and shallow-drawn food cans.
Miscellaneous
in Electronics
– Electrodes, Cable tape, Magnetic screen covers, etc.
in Engineering
– Automotive oil filters, Automotive air filters, Gaskets, etc.
in Construction
– Gas meter internal components, Heat exchangers, etc.

Our food tinplate can offers a good source of iron for its users. Tinplate canned food, except few light color fruit and canned fruit, mainly adopts interior painted empty cans for improved corrosion resistance of containers. Under the electrochemical action of metal, a small quantity of iron dissolves out of enamel cans and exists as ferrous iron in the sealed canned food, ranging from 1ppm to 10 ppm, which is easy for people to absorb. Provided that there is 5ppm iron in every 350ml tinplate can, then each can of food can provides 1.75mg iron, which is about one tenth of 18mg daily iron intake by human body. In case of rich vitamin C contained in the canned fruit and vegetable juice, iron will be easier for assimilating. That is why this food tinplate can is so widely adopted for packaging food.
Apart from food deterioration, light can also cause changes of protein and amino acid. Even vitamin C tends to react with other food ingredients when exposed to light, leading to great nutrient loss. Research and analysis results show that vitamin C loss of glass bottled milk is 14 times higher than that of milk packed in dark bottles. Additionally, light can also bring oxidative off-flavors to milk, which results in cracking of nuclide and methionine, etc. and nutrition loss. In light of this, we have created the food tinplate can with high opacity, which accomplishes the highest vitamin retention.
In addition to providing its contents with perfect protection physically and chemically, our tinplate products also cater for modern people's requirements for fast and convenient dining, thus ideal choice for packaging containers of tea, coffee, and candies, etc. Our tinplate product can also be used as oil tin can, paint tin can, and more. With a wide range of tinplate product available, food tinplate can, for example, we hope you can find the one for your needs.
