Electrolytic tinplate steel have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, high strength and good ductility.
Packaging made of tinplate has good sealing, storage, light repellency, robustness, and unique metal decorative charm, which determines its wide coverage in the packaging container industry, making it an internationally common tinplate packaging material.
Electrolytic tinplate steel are widely used as a packaging material for food and beverages, grease cans, chemical cans, and other miscellaneous cans, to provide excellent protection of the physical and chemical properties of the contents. Tinplate cans can be used to fill juice, coffee, tea, and sports drinks, as well as cola, soda, beer, and other beverages. High workability of tinplate allows for many variations in its shape, whether high, short, large, small, square, or round, which can meet the diverse needs of the beverage packaging and consumer preferences. For example, chemical cans,food cans, tea cans and oil bucket, etc.
