The Electrolytic Tinning Line (ETL) and Tin-Free Steel (TFS) coating are the efficient solutions to protect your packagings from corrosive contents.
The electrolytic tinning process suits packaging requirements in term of surface quality & flatness, mechanical properties & formability, weight optimization and corrosion-resistance.
Improving Coating Technology
Our Electrolytic Tinning Lines (ETL) are designed to provide our customers / Electrolytic Tinning Lines (ETL) designed by Clecim provide our customers with high plant performance and product quality. Clecim’s Electrotinning solution allows for equal or differential strip coating. When installed upstream of the coating process, our multi-roll Tension Leveler improves drastically the coating performance.
Our These coating solutions include:
Electrotytic plating with MSA electrolyte (Methyl Sulphonic Acid) and soluble anodes
Tin-Free Steel (TFS) coating using high current density cells. TFS is less costly than tin plating, it offers superior lacquer and paint adhesion, as well as strong resistance against corrosion
The main processes of the ETL are welding, cleaning, leveling, pickling, tinplating – reflowing – passivating with by-pass to TFS, final control & inspection.
