Thickness : Tinplate is typically available in a range of thicknesses, commonly measured in terms of gauge or millimeters (mm). Standard thicknesses for tinplate sheets or coils can range from around 0.13 mm to 0.49 mm.
Tin Coating Weight: The thickness of the tin coating applied to the steel substrate is specified in terms of tin coating weight, usually expressed in grams per square meter (g/m2) or pounds per base box (lb/base box). Typical tin coating weights range from around 1.0 g/m2 to 11.2 g/m2, depending on the intended application and level of corrosion protection required.
Surface Finish: Tinplate can have different surface finishes, such as bright finish, stone finish, or matte finish, depending on the manufacturing process and customer preferences. The surface finish can affect the appearance and texture of the tinplate.
Temper: Tinplate is available in various temper conditions, which refer to the level of hardness and flexibility of the material. Common temper designations include T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5, with T1 being the softest and most flexible and T5 being the hardest and most rigid.
