Tinplate, commonly known as tinplate (SPTE), refers to a cold-rolled thin steel plate with a thin layer of metal tin on the surface. It has a certain strength and hardness. It is corrosion-resistant, non-toxic, odorless, glossy, light, high strength (relative to paper, wood, composite materials), easy to print, easy to weld and process, and has strong adaptability to ambient temperature. The tin layer is non-toxic and odorless, and the surface is bright. Tin mainly prevents corrosion and rust. According to the production process, it is divided into hot-dip tinplate and electroplated tinplate. Commonly used cans or beverage cans are made of tinplate.

PRODUCT USE

More than 70% of the total output of tinplate is used for food and beverage packaging. In addition, it is also used as packaging and raw material for chemical, pharmaceutical, electromechanical, hardware, telecommunications and instrumentation industries.
