Premium Electrolytic Tinplate Coil For Food Cans Aerosol Containers Paint Packaging
Tinplate (ETP) consists of sheets of steel coated electrolytically with a thin layer of tin. It combines the strength of steel with the non-corrosive, lustrous, and weldable properties of tin.
ETP may be Single Reduced (SR) or Double Reduced (DR) type and is available both in sheet and/or coil form. It is the preferred choice for packaging materials.
Available in various configurations:
- Different formabilities ("tempers")
- Steel thicknesses from 0.13 mm to 0.65 mm
- Finishes including bright, stone, silver matte, silver bright, and matte

Tinplate (SPTE) refers to cold-rolled low-carbon steel sheets or strips coated with commercial pure tin on both sides. Tin mainly acts to prevent corrosion and rust. This material combines the strength and formability of steel with the corrosion resistance, solderability, and aesthetic appearance of tin.
Tinplate packaging offers excellent sealing, preservation, light-proofing, ruggedness, and unique metal decoration appeal. Its strong antioxidant properties, diverse styles, and exquisite printing make it popular for various packaging applications.

Tinplate is primarily used for packaging foodstuffs and beverages, but it is also used in containers for oils, grease, paints, polishes, chemicals and many other products. Aerosol containers and caps and closures are also made from ETP Tinplate.
- Food packaging: Canned food, beverage cans, milk powder cans, cooking oil cans
- Industrial packaging: Aerosol cans, paint cans, chemical containers
- Consumer goods: Gift boxes, tea cans, battery shells, metal signs
Tinplate is cold-rolled low-carbon steel sheet coated with a thin layer of tin on both surfaces. It combines the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance and solderability of tin.
Tinplate is corrosion-resistant, but under extreme conditions (prolonged exposure to moisture, acids, or salt spray), rust may occur.
Our anti-rust measures include:
- DOS oil coating: Food-grade oil applied to the surface
- Passivation treatment: Chromate passivation for enhanced corrosion resistance
- Professional packaging: Moisture-proof paper and plastic film wrapping suitable for long ocean shipments
For applications requiring superior corrosion resistance, we also offer tin-free steel (TFS).
Yes to both.
- Custom cutting: We slit and shear coils to your exact sheet dimensions. Tolerances within ±0.1mm.
- Custom printing: While we specialize in tinplate substrate, we work with trusted partner printing facilities. If you require pre-printed sheets (coating, printing, varnishing), we can arrange one-stop purchasing.
We use standard export-ready packaging:
- Inner: Moisture-proof kraft paper + anti-rust film
- Outer: Galvanized steel strapping + wooden pallets or seaworthy wooden crates
Suitable for container loading and long-distance ocean freight.
