Tin Coated Steel Sheet ETP Packaging Materials Food Can Beverage Can

1. Introduction

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.

Modern industrial tinplate is usually a cold-rolled, low carbon sheet coated with commercial pure tin on both sides, which combines the strength and formability of steel with the corrosion resistance, weldability and appearance of tin. Tinplate is widely used in the food industry and a variety of containers, stamped products, packaging materials for non-food industry, such as food cans, spray cans, bottle caps, gas containing beverage cans, packaging materials and non-packaging materials (home appliances, toys, stationery, engineering).

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. 

2. Features of ETP 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

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.

4. Product Standard

• ETP

ETP orders are placed with Baosteel in accordance with Q/BQB 450-2009 standard which uses in a non-equivalent to JIS G 3303:2008, DIN EN 10202:2001, EN 10203 standards.

• TFS

TFS orders are placed with Baosteel in accordance with Q/BQB 455-2009 standard which uses in a non-equivalent to JIS G 3315:2008, DIN EN 10202:2001, EN 10203 standards.

5. Usage Precautions for ETP

• As ETP is covered by soft metallic tin coatings, due precautions should be taken not to cause scratches by rough handling or vibration during transportation.
• Paintability, printability, solderability, and mechanical properties of ETP tend to 收deteriorate as time elapses after production. Use as soon as possible after delivery.
• Although ETP has excellent corrosion resistance, it tends to rust in a humid atmosphere. Use as soon as possible after unpacking.
• Tin is dissolved by a strongly alkaline solution. When using ETP for making cans for alkaline contents, paint the internal surface.
• As contents that contain sulfur cause blackening of the ETP surface, paint the internal surface.

8. APPLICATIONS 

• Typical Applications

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.

9. Packing and Marking

Offers coils and sheets, coil packed in a vertical form or a horizontal.

A label that indicates the manufacturing history is affixed to the outside of the packaging. In addition, a service card is contained inside.
