0.2mm-0.5mm Thickness MR Steel Grade Tinplate Sheet for Food Canning With T3-T5 Temper
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Shandong Sino Steel Co., Ltd. – your trusted manufacturer of high-quality tinplate sheets specifically designed for the food canning industry. Our 0.2mm-0.5mm Thickness MR Steel Grade Tinplate Sheet with T3-T5 Temper is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of food packaging, offering excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and printability. With over 6 years of production experience, a factory size of 10,000–30,000 m², and a dedicated team of 101–200 employees, we ensure every coil meets strict quality standards. This product is the ideal choice for can manufacturers seeking reliable, food-safe material that performs consistently across various canning processes.
Our tinplate is produced using advanced cold-rolling and annealing technology, resulting in precise thickness control and uniform mechanical properties. The MR steel grade is specifically formulated for deep drawing and food contact applications, while the T3 to T5 temper range allows you to select the optimal hardness for your specific can design – from softer T3 for easy forming to harder T5 for increased structural strength. Whether you are producing round cans, rectangular containers, or custom shapes, this tinplate sheet delivers the flexibility and durability your production line requires.

Key Features and Benefits
- Food Safety Assurance: MR grade tinplate is low in metalloids and complies with international food contact regulations, ensuring no harmful migration into canned products.
- Excellent Formability: With T3 temper, the material is soft and ductile, ideal for deep-drawn cans with complex shapes. T4 provides a balance of strength and formability, while T5 delivers higher rigidity for stacking and pressure resistance.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: The tin coating protects the steel substrate from acidic or sulfur-containing foods, extending shelf life and maintaining product quality.
- Precise Thickness Control: Tight tolerance (±0.01mm) ensures uniform material distribution, reducing waste and improving can integrity during high-speed filling and sealing.
- Printability & Labeling: The smooth surface accepts high-quality printing, lacquering, and lithography, enabling vibrant brand graphics and product information.
- Customizable Options: We offer a wide range of widths, coating weights, and surface finishes to match your specific packaging requirements.
Typical Applications
- Food cans for vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, and soups
- Beverage cans (juice, beer, soft drinks)
- Oil and fat containers
- Pet food and aerosol can bodies
- General line packaging (paint, chemicals when lacquered)

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between T3, T4, and T5 temper?
A: T3 is softer (lowest hardness) and best for deep drawing; T4 is medium hardness offering a balance of formability and strength; T5 is harder, providing higher stiffness for stackable cans and pressure resistance. -
Q: Is this tinplate suitable for acidic foods like tomatoes or citrus?
A: Yes, MR grade tinplate with appropriate tin coating weight (e.g., 2.8/2.8 g/m²) is commonly used for acidic foods. For highly corrosive products, we recommend applying an internal lacquer. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for orders?
A: Standard lead time is 15–25 days after deposit, depending on quantity and customization. We can expedite for urgent orders subject to availability. -
Q: Do you provide cut sheets or only coils?
A: We supply both coils and cut sheets. Cut sheets can be produced to your specified dimensions (length, width, and edge condition). -
Q: What certifications do you have for food contact materials?
A: Our factory is ISO 9000 and ISO 19011:2000 certified. We also can provide test reports for heavy metal migration and compliance with EU or FDA standards upon request. -
Q: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (A4 size or small coil) for evaluation. You only need to cover the shipping cost. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Typically 10 tons per specification. For trial orders, we can accommodate smaller quantities (e.g., 5 tons) at a slightly higher price. -
Q: How do you ensure the thickness consistency across the coil?
A: We use advanced automatic gauge control (AGC) systems during rolling and in-line thickness measurement to guarantee tolerance within ±0.01mm.
