T3 Electrolytic Tinplate Coil ETP | Medium Hard Tin Plate Coil For Food Cans & Bottle Caps

Balanced hardness & ductility, stable for mass stamping production
Uniform tin coating, reliable anti-corrosion performance
Good printing and lacquer adhesion for can exterior decoration
Food-safe treatment for food packaging and cosmetic containers
Flexible coating weight options for different service environments

Product Overview

T3 Electrolytic Tinplate (ETP) coil is cold rolled low-carbon steel base electroplated with pure tin. T3 is medium hardness temper grade of T-series ETP, balancing mechanical strength and stamping performance, widely used for standard food cans, bottle caps and regular metal packaging.

Available tin coating weights include #25, #50, #75, #100, differential tin coating optional. Surface treatments include passivation, DOS oil, butyl alcohol oil film and food-grade epoxy lacquer. Thickness 0.14–0.50mm, standard coil width 700–1050mm, custom slitting available.

Suitable for general can-making that does not require ultra-deep drawing. Mill test certificate will be provided for inspection.

FAQs

What is T3 ETP tinplate used for?

T3 is widely used for standard food cans, bottle caps, cosmetic cans and regular metal packaging.

Can T3 replace T1 tinplate?

Not recommended for deep drawing products. T3 is harder, suitable for simple stamping rather than deep forming.

What standards does T3 ETP comply with?

ASTM A623, JIS G3303, EN 10203, ISO11949, GB/T2520.

What surface treatment options for T3 tinplate?

Chemical passivation, DOS oil film, butyl alcohol oil film and food grade epoxy lacquer.

Can you provide slitting service?

Yes, custom slitting into narrow strips according to your drawings.
