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 0.145 mm thickness and 1051 mm width, in DR-9 temper for controlled stiffness and forming behaviour, with an average tin coating of about 2.0/2.8 g/m² per side, making it suitable for precision slitting, coating and high-speed forming operations.

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
• Balanced tin coating level around 2.0/2.8 g/m² per side for optimised cost and protection

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
