Applications
Benefiting from mature manufacturing technology and full‑range quality control system, our Laminated TFS / ECCS features smooth and uniform surface, firm lamination‑film bonding, outstanding corrosion resistance and stamping performance. Compared with conventional tin‑plated materials, it is well suited for multiple deep‑processing operations such as can‑making, deep drawing, bending and stamping. Stable batch‑to‑batch quality is guaranteed, customized thickness and dimensions are available, and extra internal coating can be omitted under certain working conditions.
For food‑contact packaging containers as well as industrial components, we supply cost‑effective metal substrates for global customers, helping downstream partners simplify manufacturing procedures, cut overall production costs and improve finished‑product pass rate.
FAQ
Q:What is laminated TFS / Tin Free Steel (ECCS)?
A:Laminated TFS is chromium-coated steel (ECCS) heat-bonded with PET or PP polymer film on one or both sides. The laminated film replaces traditional lacquer coating for protection.
Q:What are the main advantages of laminated TFS?
A:It features excellent adhesion, high heat resistance and great formability. The pinhole-free film barrier delivers stable corrosion resistance, and the solvent-free lamination process avoids VOC emissions.
Q:What products is laminated TFS commonly used for?
A:It is widely used for food cans, metal caps, aerosol cans and general line cans. It performs well for acidic food packaging and applications requiring strong heat resistance.
Q:What is the difference between laminated TFS and laminated ETP?
A:Laminated ETP uses tin substrate while laminated TFS adopts chromium coated steel. TFS has better heat resistance and lower tin migration risk, but it is less ductile than ETP for deep drawing.
Q:What thickness and temper grades can you supply?
A:Available thickness: 0.15–0.40 mm. Temper grades cover T2-T5 and DR7-DR9. Single-sided or double-sided PET/PP lamination is optional.
