Tinplate coil is a low-carbon steel coil electrolytically coated with a thin layer of tin, combining good formability, corrosion resistance and printability for metal packaging and general canmaking applications. This coil is supplied in approximately 0.19 mm thickness and 823 mm width, in DR-7 temper for controlled stiffness and forming behaviour, making it suitable for precision slitting, coating and high-speed forming operations. Damage lots are typically used for reprocessing, scrap recovery or non-food contact applications due to surface or edge imperfections.

Key Features

• Electrolytic tin coating providing reliable corrosion protection and sulphur staining resistance
• Clean, uniform surface suitable for high-quality printing, lacquering and varnishing
• Low-carbon steel base with good drawability for drawing, flanging and seaming operations
• Controlled temper and mechanical properties to match specific end-use performance
• Tight gauge, width and shape tolerances for consistent behaviour on high-speed lines

Typical Applications

• Food and non-food cans, ends and closures
• Crown corks, beverage caps and twist-off lids
• General line, aerosol and specialty cans
• Printed decorative tins, gift packs and boxes
• Shallow drawn, stamped and formed metal components
• Non-critical or secondary applications where cosmetic surface quality is not the primary requirement
