How Tinplate Cans Withstand Extreme Temperatures

2025-12-04
Tinplate cans are used in everything from hot soup to frozen meals — here’s why they perform well in both high and low temperature environments.

Quick Answer

Tinplate cans handle extreme temperatures (from -20°C to 120°C) because their steel core is heat-stable and the tin coating resists corrosion — making them ideal for hot, cold, and shelf-stable foods.

Temperature Resistance of Tinplate

High Temperatures (Cooking/Shipping)
  • Steel core doesn’t warp or melt at boiling temperatures (safe for retort cooking, like canned soups).
  • Tin coating prevents rust when exposed to hot, moist air (common during shipping in warm climates).
Low Temperatures (Freezing/Storage)
  • Tinplate doesn’t become brittle in freezers (no cracking when stored at -20°C, like frozen vegetable cans).
  • Airtight seal blocks freezer burn (preserves food quality for months).

Real-World Use Cases

  • A soup brand uses tinplate cans for their “heat-and-eat” products: no packaging damage during 100°C retort cooking.
  • A frozen food brand cuts freezer burn complaints by 60% after switching to tinplate cans.

Quick Recap

Tinplate cans’ heat-stable steel and corrosion-resistant coating let them handle extreme temperatures — making them a versatile choice for hot, cold, and long-storage foods.
