Due to its unique properties, tinplate sheet has been widely used in many industries, including food packaging, chemical product packaging, electronic appliances, architectural decoration, and artistic creation.
Tinplate plate is actually a tin-plated thin steel plate with a thin layer of tin on its surface. This layer of tin mainly plays the role of preventing steel from rusting. The tin plating process makes tinplate plate have both the strength of steel and the anti-corrosion performance of tin.
Tinplate sheet can be made into:
1. Food and beverage packaging
2. Chemical product packaging
3. Daily consumer goods packaging
4. Industrial product packaging
5. Building materials
6. Electronic product housing
7. Crafts and gift boxes
8. Medical device packaging
9. Other applications.
In the field of food packaging, tinplate plate is widely used to make cans, beverage cans, etc. During the food heating process, the temperature usually does not exceed the melting point of tin (231.9°C), so it will not cause the melting of the tin layer or produce toxic substances.
In acidic environments, the tin-plated layer of electrolytic tinplate can provide a certain degree of protection, but its acid resistance is limited. Strong acid environments may cause the dissolution and corrosion of the tin layer, thereby exposing the low-carbon steel substrate and further inducing corrosion.
