The amount of tin used in a standard tinplate can depends on its volume and the thickness of the coating. Typically, about 1 to 2 grams of tin are required per square meter of tinplate, which means that an ordinary food can does not require much tin, but its role is irreplaceable.

Food and beverage liquid products Food and beverage liquid products are the most common application areas of tinplate can packaging. Liquid products such as juice, milk, carbonated beverages, and edible oil can be better protected and preserved when using tinplate can packaging.

Common coating types for tinplate cans: 1. Anticorrosion coating 1.1 Epoxy coating 1.2 Polyester coating 1.3 Acrylic coating 2. Decorative coating 2.1 Paint coating 2.2 Printing coating 2.3 Varnish coating 3. Functional coating 3.1 Antibacterial coating 3.2 Anti-ultraviolet coating 3.3 Waterproof coating

There are many types of anti-corrosion coatings for printing tinplate cans on the market. Common types include epoxy resin coatings, polyester coatings, polyurethane coatings, and fluorinated coatings. Different types of coatings have certain differences in anti-corrosion performance, high temperature resistance, and chemical resistance.

Generally speaking, tinplate cans have a long shelf life, usually more than two years or even longer, but the specific period still depends on the use environment of the can. If tin plate cans are placed in a humid, highly acidic or alkaline environment, the tin coating may be affected, thus shortening the overall shelf life of the can.

Tin plated on the surface of tinplate is a relatively safe metal and is widely used in the food packaging industry. As a low-toxic metal, tin is stable and non-volatile at room temperature, and it is difficult to react chemically even when in contact with food.

Based on the specific needs of tinplate cans for food packaging, offset printing is the most suitable printing method for most food packaging. It can provide high-precision printing effects, bright colors, and is suitable for mass production. At the same time, the cost of offset printing is relatively low, which can meet the needs of most food companies.

Tinplate products in food packaging: 1. Tinplate packaging in canned food ● Canned food ● Canned soup and liquid food ● Canned high-acid food 2.

Tinplate products in dairy and milk powder packaging ● Milk powder cans ● Dairy packaging cans 5. Tinplate packaging for condiments and oily foods ● Condiment cans ● Edible oil packaging cans

For the question of "Is tinplate packaging can flammable?", we can get the answer from the properties of its main materials. Generally speaking, metal materials are not flammable because they do not contain flammable components such as hydrocarbons

The main component of tinplate cans is steel, on which a thin layer of tin is coated to prevent rust and corrosion. Aluminum cans are made entirely of aluminum, a lightweight metal with a density of about one-third that of steel.
