Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the difference between DR-8 and other tempers like T-4 or T-5?
DR-8 is a double-reduced temper, which offers higher hardness and stiffness compared to single-reduced tempers. This makes it ideal for offset printing where flatness and rigidity are critical. It is also suitable for applications requiring thinner gauge without sacrificing strength. -
Can this tinplate be used for food contact?
Yes, the electrolytic tin coating (5.6/5.6 g/m²) meets food-grade safety standards. The product is commonly used for food cans, beverage cans, and closures. However, specific food contact compliance should be verified based on local regulations. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ is typically 10 metric tons per specification. For trial orders or custom sizes, please contact our sales team for flexible arrangements. -
How is the product packaged to prevent damage?
We use standard export packaging: steel coil/sheet packs with anti-rust paper, plastic film, and steel strapping. For sheets, we provide wooden pallets or crates as needed. Packaging can be customized upon request. -
Is the tin coating evenly distributed on both sides?
Yes, we use electrolytic deposition to ensure uniform coating weight of 5.6 g/m² on each side, with tight tolerance (±0.3 g/m²). This consistency is critical for offset printing quality. -
Can you supply sheets in specific dimensions (e.g., 800mm x 1000mm)?
Absolutely. We offer width from 600mm to 1250mm and can cut to customer-specified lengths. Please provide your exact dimensions and we will confirm feasibility. -
What certifications do you hold?
We are certified under ISO9000 quality management system and ISO19011:2000 audit standard. These certifications ensure our production processes are consistent and traceable. -
How long is the typical lead time?
Standard lead time is 15-25 days after order confirmation, depending on quantity and specification. Custom orders may require additional time. We work closely with logistics partners to ensure timely shipment from Qingdao, Tianjin, or Shanghai ports.
