ETP
Electrolytic Tin Plate (ETP/TP), with good corrosion resistance, strength and hardness, is good in forming and welding. The tin layer is non-toxic and tasteless, can prevent iron from being dissolved into the packaged object, and the surface is bright, and the printed picture can beautify the product.
TFS
Electrolytic Tin Free Steel (TFS), also known as Electrolytic Chromium Coated Steel (ECCS), is a type of steel that is coated with a thin layer of chromium and chromium oxide through an electrolytic process. This coating provides the steel with excellent corrosion resistance, a superior surface finish, and good paint adhesion properties
TMBP
Tin Mill Black Plate (TMBP/BP) is an uncoated, thin, and cold-rolled steel sheet that serves as a substrate for tinplate and tin-free steel production. It is made from low-carbon steel and is characterized by its smooth surface finish, uniform thickness, and good mechanical properties.
Lacquered & Printed Tinplate
Lacquered & Printed tinplate and Tin-Free Steel sheets are low carbon coated steel or printed with polymer coatings and inks respectively. Those materials are commonly used for metal cans and components, both for food (sanitary) and industrial applications.
Easy Open End
The Canned Food Easy Open End (EOE) made from tinplate is a key component in the packaging industry, particularly for food products. Tinplate, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and formability, ensures that the easy-open end provides a reliable seal to maintain the freshness and safety of the canned contents.
Bottom End
The Bottom End made from tinplate is a crucial component in the canning and packaging industry. Known for its durability, excellent corrosion resistance, and formability, tinplate is the preferred material for producing bottom ends that provide a secure and reliable seal for canned goods.
Peel Off End
The Peel Off End made from tinplate is a specialized lid designed for easy and convenient access to canned products. This type of end is typically composed of a tinplate ring with a thin, peelable aluminum or laminated foil layer that seals the container.
Twist-off Cap
The Twist-Off Cap made from tinplate is a widely used closure for jars and bottles, particularly in the food and beverage industry. This cap is designed to be easily screwed on and off by hand, providing a convenient and reliable seal.
Aerosol Cap
The Aerosol Cap made from tinplate is an essential component of aerosol cans, which are widely used for dispensing products in the form of sprays, foams, or mists. This cap is designed to fit securely over the can’s nozzle, providing protection and ensuring the safety of the product during storage and transport.

Jun. 13, 2024
The European Commission, the executive body of the European Union, is due to examine a request to extend a 25% safeguard on a range of steel imports. Steel news reports that the EC received a request from 14 member states of the 27-member bloc on January 12. This request aimed to establish if an extension of the current safeguard measure and its prospective timeline would be necessary.
"The request contains sufficient evidence suggesting that the safeguard measure continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and that Union producers are adjusting," the EC said in a February 16 bulletin. "In particular, the request contains information regarding the negative performance of certain key injury indicators and the existence of continuous significant import pressure from third countries."
The measures apply to imports of hot and cold rolled sheets and strips, electrical and coated sheets, stainless sheet, tinplate, plates, merchant bars, sections, carbon and stainless tubular products, wire rod, railway products, and sheet piling. The EC initially instituted the duties on February 1, 2019. Countries subject to the quota remained so for three years until June 30, 2021.
However, following a prolonged review investigation, the EC extended the safeguard measures for an additional three years. "If the measures were lifted, the union industry would face a flood of imports that would have a very negative impact on its economic performance," the EC warned. "Moreover, the request includes examples pertaining to adjustments undertaken by the Union producers. The Commission considered that the information provided, including the sources and supporting evidence, constitute sufficient basis to initiate an investigation."
Meanwhile, the EC stated that there is little sign that the U.S. plans to remove its Section 232 measures on steel imports. However, it is important to note that safeguards are not applicable if any products originate from a developing country member of the World Trade Organization exceed 3%. The EC also warned that this is conditional on whether developing country members of the WTO with less than a 3% import share collectively account for no more than 9% of total imports of the product concerned into the bloc.
Steel news sources quoted the EC as saying that "the Commission will thus review whether imports from a developing WTO member exceeded the 3% threshold in the relevant period (namely, the year 2023) and, if needed, update the list of developing countries that are WTO Members and that should be included in, or excluded from, the scope of the measure."
Industry Insider Comments on Extension of Safeguard Measures
One market participant was unsurprised by the plans to extend the safeguard measures. "It's completely expected from the market as they have another two years max to keep the measure as a 'temporary' one, as it can be a maximum of eight years," that source told MetalMiner. "And it would run until June 30, 2026, while the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will start on January 1, 2026, covers any period without measures."
The CBAM stipulates a tariff on imports into the EU of carbon-intensive products, such as steel, cement, and some forms of electricity. The UK is also due to introduce its own CBAM starting in 2027.
