ETP Coil Specification
-
Tin Plate Coils are available in a wide range of thicknesses to suit various packaging applications.
Standard thickness typically ranges from:
0.13 mm to 0.49 mm
Thickness selection depends on product strength requirements, forming process, and end-use application such as food cans or industrial containers.
-
The protective tin layer is specified based on coating mass per unit area, expressed in:
Grams per square meter (g/m²)
Pounds per base box (lb/base box)
Typical coating weights range from:
1.0 g/m² to 11.2 g/m²
Higher coating weight provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved durability.
-
Tin Plate Coils are available in multiple surface finishes depending on manufacturing process and customer preference:
Bright Finish
Stone Finish
Matte Finish
Surface finish influences the appearance, printability, and final aesthetic of packaging products.
-
Tinplate is supplied in various temper conditions that determine hardness and flexibility. Common temper grades include:
T1 (Soft & Highly Formable)
T2
T3
T4
T5 (Higher Strength & Rigidity)
The selected temper grade depends on forming requirements such as deep drawing or stamping.
-
Tin Plate Coils are generally available in standard widths ranging from:
600 mm to 1000 mm and above
Custom widths may be provided based on production capability and client requirements.
Tin Plate Coil Trade Information
Electrolytic Tin Coating Process
Tin Plate Coil is produced by coating cold rolled steel with a thin layer of tin through an electrolytic process. This ensures uniform coating thickness, strong adhesion, and consistent surface quality across the coil.
Superior Corrosion Protection
The tin layer acts as a protective barrier against moisture, oxidation, and chemical exposure. This significantly enhances durability and prevents rusting of the steel substrate.
Excellent Formability & Solderability
Tinplate coils offer outstanding ductility, making them suitable for bending, stamping, and deep drawing processes. Their high solderability ensures secure bonding in packaging and industrial applications.
Food-Safe & Aesthetic Finish
With its bright metallic appearance and inert coating properties, tinplate is widely used for food and beverage cans, ensuring safety, freshness, and visual appeal of packaged products.
