Tinplate
Tinplate is thin steel sheet coated with tin, often with additional surface treatment suited to conversion.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Tinplate is made from the process of thinly coating sheets of wrought iron or steel with tin and applied either by dipping in molten metal or by electrolytic deposition. Tinplate is now produced by the latter process, and is essentially a sandwich in which the central core is strip steel. This core is cleaned in a pickling solution and then fed through tanks containing electrolyte, where tin is deposited on both sides.
Steel temper and coating distribution affect forming, welding and corrosion behaviour. Surface cleanliness influences lacquer and printing adhesion.
Package design, contents and processing determine the protective system. Tin coating alone does not establish compatibility for every filled product.
What turns activity into demand
Compare substrate and surface treatment through the completed package. Separate tinplate mass from coated blanks and finished containers.
The commercial boundary
Separate tinplate mass from coated blanks and finished containers.
