What is Tin Coated Steel Sheet/ Tinplate?
Tin Coated Steel Sheet: cold rolled sheet steel coated with an extremely thin layer of metallic tin on both sides. It combines the hardness and strength of steel with the weldability, corrosion resistance and bright appearance of tin. This plate has the advantages of tasteless, non-toxic, light weight, easy processing and forming. Printing different patterns can also beautify the product. Therefore, it has been widely used in food canning industry, electronic devices, chemical paint and other industries.
The production process of tinplate mainly includes several steps such as steel plate preparation, tin plating, post-treatment and inspection. First of all, the factory needs to clean and de-rust the steel plate to ensure that its surface is clean and free of impurities.
Then, the steel plate is immersed in an electroplating solution containing tin ions, and a layer of tin is deposited on the surface of the steel plate by electrolysis. Next, the worker will carry out post-treatment of the steel plate, such as passivation, drying and so on. This improves corrosion resistance and aesthetics. Finally, the factory carries out strict inspection and testing of the finished product to ensure that its quality meets the relevant standards.

How You Can Use This Product
1. Food packaging: tin coated steel sheet is widely used in food packaging, especially in can manufacturing. Because it is non-toxic and has excellent corrosion resistance, this steel plate is ideal for preserving food products, ensuring freshness and flavor during long periods of storage. Whether it is canned fruit, canned meat, canned fish or canned vegetables, it has played an important role.
2. Beverage packaging: It is also used in the manufacture of beverage cans, such as two cans and three cans. These cans are not only easy to transport and store, but also effectively maintain the taste and flavor of the beverage.
3. Chemical packaging: In addition to food and beverages, it can also package gasoline, grease, pigments, polishes, sprays and other chemicals. Its good corrosion resistance and sealing properties allow these chemicals to remain stable during storage and transportation.
4. Other non-food industry: This steel plate is also widely used in non-food industry fields such as cable inner and outer sheath, flashlight and so on. Its high strength and good formability make it an ideal material in these fields.
