Features of TFS Products

Excellent paint adhesion

TFS has excellent paint adhesion properties that far surpass those of ETP, allowing its use for making DRD cans and adhesive bonded cans.

Excellent heat resistance

High-temperature baking causes neither discoloration nor deterioration in material properties.

Excellent resistance to Sulphur Blackening

The metallic chromium in TFS has excellent sulphide resistance property when canning protein-rich foodstuff such as fish. TFS compensates for the expensive sulphur resistant lacquer.

Excellent filiform rust resistance

TFS has a excellent under film corrosion resistance.

Excellent alkali resistance

The coating in TFS is not amphoteric. Alkaline products such as detergents and dispersion colours can be packed in TFS with advantage.

Different Features between TFS and ETP

Appearance

Even when the same surface finish as ETP is applied to the substrate steel sheet, it provides the unique surface luster characteristic of metallic chromium.

Corrosion resistance

As it has excellent corrosion resistance after painting, it is generally used with both surfaces painted. It can also be used with the internal surface unpainted, depending on the contents.

Solderability

TFS is not compatible with soldering.

Weldability

Although TFS can be welded when the metallic coating layers are removed, its weldability is inferior to ETP.

Coating weights

Unlike the multiplicity of coating weights with tin, only one standardized chromium-coated product is manufactured.
