Hi Compositepro, you are right to a certain extent. What we do is a 2 step process. First the tinplate in a big sheet form is coated and cured. After completion of the various manufacturing processes, when it gets finally formed into a can shape, a 2nd step of coating is applied to the weld...
Hi MJCronin, to be more specific, it is steel plate coated with a layer of pure tin on both sides. Tin coating is typically 2.8g/m2 while total thickness, including the steel, is typically around 0.25mm. This material is used to produce metal can containers for paint, oil, chemical and food...
Hi, I'm looking for a material which can coat onto raw tinplates and this material must be able to:
1. resist 5 % acid content
2. have solvent resistance (i.e. MEK, MIBK, Ethyl Acetate)
If anyone has any knowledge or experience about this, I welcome your help on this. Thank you.
