30% Thinner, Same Strength: 0.18mm Tinplate Innovation

30% Thinner, Same Strength: 0.18mm Tinplate Innovation

2025-07-30

- Through targeted alloy tweaks and rolling process refinements, we’ve developed a new 0.18mm tinplate option — noticeably thinner than standard grades, but just as durable for common packaging uses.

  Quick Answer
  
  Our 0.18mm tinplate is about 30% thinner than typical tinplate but keeps the same strength for everyday packaging — thanks to small alloy tweaks and a more precise rolling process.
  
  How We Achieved Thinner + Durable
  
  Alloy Adjustments
  - We added small amounts of strengthening elements to the steel base, boosting its natural toughness (so we could reduce thickness without losing durability).
  Refined Rolling Process
  - Our updated rolling steps compress the material more evenly, making the thinner sheet hold up just as well as standard, thicker tinplate in common use cases (like food cans).
  Benefits of This Thinner Tinplate
  - Lighter packaging: Cans made with this tinplate are easier to transport and handle
  - Material savings: Uses less metal per can, which helps keep costs reasonable
  - Lower footprint: Less material means a smaller environmental impact per unit.
  Quick Recap
  
  Our 0.18mm tinplate (thinner by ~30%, same strength) brings practical benefits like lighter packaging and material savings — a smart choice for everyday packaging needs.
