Characteristics
TP - Tin Plate
In addition to its elegant shining surface, tin plates possess superb corrosion resistance, formability, weldability, and printability. Such unique properties allow the tin plates to serve a broad range of applications including beverage cans, food cans, oil cans, paint cans, aerosol cans, bottle caps, cable electronic parts.
T.F.S. - Tin Free Steel
Lower in price than tin plates, tin free steel boasts superior lacquer and paint adhesion and strong resistance against corrosion. Tin Free Steel is used in the production of cans, containers, electric equipments furniture, home applications and cables.

Tin Coating Weight(g/m2)
| Type | Remarks |
| MR | Contains few residual minor constituents and has good corrosion resistance so that it is widely used for such applications as containers. |
| L | Contains particularly few residual minor constituents such as Cu, Ni, Cr, Mo, so that it is suitable for the materials of containers required for improved corrosion resistance. |
| D | Aluminum killed steel, so that it is suitable for the applications which bear deep drawing or other working that are liable to produce Luder's lines pattern. |
