How Tinplate is made
Tin mill black plate is electrolytically plated with a thin, food-safe layer of tin on both faces.
- 1Base plate
Cold-reduced TMBP is produced to the ordered temper — T2 through DR9 — and thickness from 0.13 mm to 0.60 mm.
- 2Electrolytic tinning
The strip runs through a tin electrolyte where current deposits a precisely metered tin coating.
- 3Reflow & passivation
Momentary melting brightens the tin and forms an alloy bond; passivation and oiling protect it in storage.
- 4Shearing & printing
We shear to can-maker sheet sizes and, where required, print the sheet by metal offset before forming.
