Product Details
Tinplate, also known as electroplated tin steel plate, is a metal material with cold-rolled low-carbon thin steel plate as the base material and pure tin uniformly plated on the surface through an electrolytic process. Its core advantage lies in the dual characteristics of the tin layer: on the one hand, tin has excellent chemical stability, which can effectively isolate oxygen and moisture, significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the steel plate, and extend the shelf life of the packaging material; on the other hand, the tin layer is non-toxic and tasteless, with a soft luster, which not only meets food-grade safety standards, but also can achieve rich visual effects through printing, coating and other processes, meeting the market's demand for packaging aesthetics.
In industrial applications, tinplate has become the mainstream material for containers such as cans, beverages, and sprays due to its high strength and ductility. Its good forming performance can realize complex processes such as deep drawing and stretching, and is suitable for various special-shaped packaging needs; at the same time, it has excellent welding performance and is convenient for efficient and automated production. In addition, tinplate is also widely used in daily chemicals, medicine, electronic products and other fields, such as cosmetic boxes, battery shells, etc. With the popularization of environmental protection concepts, tinplate with strong recyclability is gradually replacing traditional packaging materials and promoting the development of the green packaging industry.
Zhongxi Metal is a professional manufacturer engaged in the research, development, production, sale and service., is committed to providing one-stop steel procurement services for global client.
1. Excellent corrosion resistance
The tin-plated layer on the surface of tinplate forms a dense protective film, which isolates oxygen and moisture and significantly improves its corrosion resistance. Its corrosion resistance is 3-5 times higher than that of ordinary steel plates. It is especially suitable for packaging of acidic foods and high-salt contents, effectively extending the shelf life, reducing the risk of packaging failure, and ensuring product quality and safety.
2. Food-grade safety guarantee
The tin-plated layer is non-toxic and harmless, meets international food contact material standards, and prevents metal elements from dissolving and contaminating the contents. Its barrier properties can prevent oil oxidation and discoloration of fruits and vegetables. It is especially suitable for areas with strict safety requirements such as infant food and pharmaceutical packaging, protecting consumer health.
3. Efficient processing and forming
The low-carbon steel substrate gives tinplate high ductility (elongation ≥28%), supports complex processes such as deep drawing and stretching, and meets the needs of special-shaped cans. The tin layer is easy to fuse during welding, and the weld strength is more than 80% of the substrate. It is suitable for automated production lines and improves production efficiency by 20%-30%.
4. Exquisite decorative expression
The surface supports bright and matte effects, strong printing adhesion (≥98%), and high color reproduction. Complex patterns, gradient colors and anti-counterfeiting logos can be achieved through high-precision printing (resolution ≥600dpi), which helps brand differentiation and enhances product added value and market competitiveness.
5. Green and sustainable
Tinplate is 100% recyclable, the tin layer recovery rate is ≥95%, and the resource utilization rate is high. Compared with all-tin packaging, its tin consumption is reduced by more than 90%, carbon emissions are lower, and it complies with EU environmental regulations, helping companies pass carbon footprint certification and implement sustainable development strategies.
We have our own Physical & Chemical Testing Center Lab to guarantee our product quality. Our test items & instrument fully meet international standards.
1. Food canned packaging
Tinplate has become the preferred packaging for canned foods such as meat, fish, fruits and vegetables due to its corrosion resistance and strong barrier properties. Its sealing can isolate oxygen and microorganisms, extend the shelf life to 2-3 years, and support high-temperature sterilization process to ensure food safety. The coating is non-toxic and tasteless, avoiding metal dissolution affecting the flavor, which meets consumers' health needs.
2. Beverage and spray containers
Tinplate is used for pressure vessels such as beer, carbonated beverages, and sprays. Its high-strength base material can withstand internal pressure, and the tin coating prevents corrosive liquid erosion. The welding process is suitable for high-speed filling lines and has high production efficiency. The surface printing is exquisite, which improves product recognition. For example, aerosol cans, pesticide cans, etc. are widely made of tinplate.
3. Gift and cosmetic packaging
Tinplate can be used to create high-end gift boxes, cosmetic jars, etc. through surface treatments such as embossing, glossy surface, and frosting, combined with high-precision printing. Its ductility supports special-shaped designs (such as heart-shaped and round), improves the beauty of packaging, and protects the contents from being squeezed. The environmentally friendly attributes are in line with the brand's sustainable development concept and attract high-end consumer groups.
4. Chemical and industrial packaging
Tinplate is used for packaging of chemical products such as paint, glue, and lubricants. Its corrosion resistance prevents the contents from leaking or deteriorating. The sealed can body can block volatile substances and reduce transportation risks. Some industrial products (such as battery shells and electronic component boxes) also use tinplate, taking into account both protective and electromagnetic shielding needs to ensure product stability.
5. Miscellaneous cans and daily necessities packaging
Tinplate is made into biscuit cans, tea cans, pencil cases and other daily necessities containers, which are both practical and decorative. Its formability supports personalized design (such as embossed patterns) to enhance product attractiveness. The coating is moisture-proof and rust-proof, prolongs the storage period, and is suitable for home storage or gift giving scenarios. It has a wide market application and is cost-controllable.
