Description
Tinplate Coils: Although classed along with tinplate as a tinmill product, tin-free
steel is a chromium-coated, corrosion-resistant steel which, like
tinplate, is used for food and other packaging applications. It is
correctly known as electrolytic chromium coated steel (ECCS). The
coating is applied to a cold-rolled, low-carbon steel coil substrate in
a continuous electrolytic process using chromic acid. The result is a
very thin layer of chromium and chromium oxide. Apart from its
packaging uses, it does find other applications, such as in some
electrical equipment. Compared to tinplate, ECCS is easier to recycle
because tin is a contaminant in scrap.
