Thickness 0.15mm-0.50mm Tinplate Sheets With Electrolytic Tin Coating for Canning
Product Spotlights
Shandong Sino Steel Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer of high-quality tinplate sheets, specializing in electrolytic tin coating for the canning industry. With a factory size of 10,000–30,000 square meters and an annual export value of US$2.5–5 million, we supply reliable, cost-effective thickness 0.15mm–0.50mm tinplate sheets to global markets. Our products are designed to meet the rigorous demands of food and beverage canning, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and solderability.
Product Overview
Our electrolytic tinplate sheets are manufactured from high-grade cold-rolled steel substrate, coated with a uniform layer of pure tin via an electrolytic process. The thickness range of 0.15mm to 0.50mm makes them suitable for a wide variety of can sizes and applications—from small tuna cans to large paint cans. The tin coating provides a protective barrier against corrosion, while also offering a bright, attractive surface for printing and labeling.
