Features of Tinplate 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: TINPLATE 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.
Applications of Tinplate
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 of ETP.
