Tinplate Coil for Can Making - Cold Rolled Electrolytic Tin Coated Steel Coil
Tinplate coil for can making represents a specialized cold-rolled steel substrate with electrolytic tin coating, engineered specifically for food and beverage container manufacturing. This premium-grade material combines the structural integrity of low-carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of pure tin, making it the preferred choice for food packaging manufacturers, beverage can producers, and aerosol container fabricators worldwide. With coating weights ranging from 2.8 to 11.2 g/m² per side and base steel thickness from 0.15mm to 0.49mm, these coils deliver exceptional formability and weld performance critical for high-speed can production lines.
What is Tinplate Coil for Can Making?
Tinplate coil for can making is a thin cold-rolled steel strip electroplated with a thin layer of tin on both surfaces, manufactured according to ASTM A623 and EN 10202 standards. The base material consists of low-carbon steel with carbon content limited to 0.13% maximum, ensuring optimal ductility for deep drawing operations required in two-piece and three-piece can manufacturing processes.

Tinplate Coil for Can Making Technical Specifications
Our tinplate coils comply with ASTM A623M-17 Grade MR and EN 10202:2001 standards. Base steel thickness ranges from 0.15mm to 0.49mm with tolerance of ±0.01mm. Tin coating weight options include E2.8/2.8, E5.6/5.6, and E11.2/11.2 (g/m² per side). Temper grades available: T-1 through T-5, with T-3 and T-4 being most common for can body applications. Surface finish options include bright, stone, silver, and matte per customer requirements.
Why Choose Our Tinplate Coil for Can Making
We maintain mill-direct partnerships with ISO 9001:2015 certified tinplate manufacturers in China, ensuring consistent quality and factory-competitive pricing. Our tinplate coils feature uniform tin coating distribution verified by coulometric testing per ASTM A624, superior passivation treatment for enhanced shelf life, and chromium treatment weight of 10-20 mg/m² for optimal lacquer adhesion. All coils undergo rigorous inspection including coating weight verification, surface quality assessment, and mechanical property testing with full material test certificates provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ for tinplate coil is 25 metric tons per specification. For established customers or trial orders, we can accommodate 10-ton minimum quantities with adjusted pricing. Mixed container loading of different coating weights is available for orders exceeding 50 tons.
Do you provide material test certificates?
Yes, we supply comprehensive mill test certificates (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1 standard with every shipment. Certificates include chemical composition analysis, mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation), tin coating weight verification, and surface treatment specifications. Third-party inspection by SGS or BV can be arranged upon request.
What is the typical delivery time?
For stock specifications (T-3 and T-4 temper with E5.6/5.6 coating), delivery time is 15-20 days from order confirmation. Custom specifications requiring special production runs typically require 35-45 days. Express production can be arranged for urgent orders with 10-15 day lead time at premium rates.
Can you cut to custom sizes?
Our service center provides precision slitting services for coil widths from 600mm to 1250mm with tolerance of ±1mm. Cut-to-length sheets are available in sizes up to 1250mm × 2500mm. We also offer blanking services for specific can end dimensions with progressive die cutting capabilities for high-volume orders exceeding 100,000 pieces.
