TINPLATE (BSE)

Tinplate, the oldest metal packaging used for food preservation, is a thin sheet of steel uniformly coated by an electrolytic process with a thin layer of tin (of variable thickness), which gives the material an excellent ability to resist oxidation and corrosion. The product is also suitable for welding and guarantees good adhesion to lithographs and paints; these characteristics make tinplate a versatile product, used in many product sectors for various uses such as for the production of canned food, drums for paints, aerosols, patterned boxes for cosmetics, tea, coffee and biscuits.
