Premium Electrolytic Tin Plate (ETP) for Food Can Ends & Lids - Alkali & Rust Resistant

Premium Electrolytic Tin Plate (ETP) for Food Can Ends & Lids - Alkali & Rust Resistant

Product Description

Our Electrolytic Tin Plate (ETP) is a high-performance, cold-rolled steel sheet coated with a precise layer of pure tin via an advanced electrolytic process. Engineered specifically for demanding food packaging applications, this material is the cornerstone for manufacturing safe, durable, and reliable metal cans, ends, and lids. It offers an exceptional barrier against corrosion, alkalinity, and external contaminants, ensuring the longevity and integrity of packaged food products such as meats, tomato paste, fruits, and fish. Available in both traditional Tinplate and Tin-Free Steel (TFS) variations, it provides a versatile solution for various internal coating and printing requirements.

Features & Characteristics

• Superior Protection: The electrolytic tin coating provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, particularly against acidic and alkaline food contents.

• Food-Grade Safety: Offers non-toxic, hygienic barrier properties, protecting food from moisture, light, odors, and bacterial contamination.

• Excellent Formability: Designed with specific tempers (T1-T5, DR) to allow for deep drawing and stamping into precise can ends and lids without cracking.

• Customizable Surface: Available in Bright, Stone, Matte, and Silver finishes to suit different aesthetic and functional needs.

• Strong & Lightweight: Provides high structural strength with low weight, optimizing shipping and storage costs.

Key Advantages

Choosing our Electrolytic Tin Plate translates to superior packaging performance. It ensures product safety and extends shelf life through its inert, protective barrier. Its 100% recyclability supports sustainable packaging initiatives, offering an eco-friendly advantage. Furthermore, the material's consistency and versatility in printing and coating facilitate strong brand presentation and meet diverse packaging line specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between ETP and TFS?
A1: ETP (Electrolytic Tin Plate) has a thin layer of metallic tin, offering good solderability and corrosion resistance. TFS (Tin-Free Steel) uses a chromium coating, providing excellent adhesion for organic coatings and paints, often at a lower cost.

Q2: Which temper grade should I choose for can ends?
A2: Temper grades like T3, T4, or DR8 are commonly used for can ends and lids as they provide an optimal balance of formability and strength required for the stamping process.

Q3: Is your tinplate suitable for acidic food products like tomatoes?
A3: Absolutely. Our food-grade tinplate is specifically designed with alkali and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for acidic contents like tomato paste, fruits, and chili sauce. The internal lacquer coating can be specified for extra protection.

Q4: What information is needed when placing an order?
A4: Please provide product grade, thickness, coating mass, temper, dimensions (width, ID for coils), surface finish, quantity, and specific application details to ensure the correct specification is supplied.

Q5: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A5: The standard MOQ is 25 tons, but please contact us to discuss requirements for sample or smaller trial orders.
