Tin mill black plate (TMBP) is a light-gauge steel normally used as raw material for tin-free steel (TFS) or electrolytic tinplate (ETP), however, since prices for those materials are rising, tin mill black plate has been used in general applications for nonfood uses like decorative cans, dry battery jackets, and jewelry boxes. Plus, it can be lacquered or printed directly in the conventional lines used by the metal packaging industry.

As noted above, tin mill black plate (TMBP) is a low-carbon steel plate used as raw material for TFS or ETP and for some nonfood applications. One reason for its widespread use is that the material has a chemical composition that imparts special properties to resist corrosion. Another key reason is that the material is coated with a special oil film, which protects the sheet from the humidity found within its working environment and makes it easy to handle. This special oil is applied using an electrostatic oiler on both sides of the sheet.
The tin mill black plate process uses cold-rolled steel, which is steel that is produced by taking hot-rolled steel and putting it through another series of room temperature rollers. This process allows for low ductility, tighter dimensional tolerances, and improved surface qualities.
Advantages of using tin mill black plate include:
Tin mill black plate can be used for stamped parts, lids and ends, oval and cylindrical two-piece cans, and rectangular cans, all of them for nonfood uses.

All steels are produced using modern BOF technology; the prescribed chemical composition is strictly maintained. Fully killed steels are continuously cast into slabs. Sheets are rolled on a five-stand mill. Afterwards the material is continuously or batch annealed and skin passed (SR sheets) or double reduced (DR sheets). The tin layer is continuosly applied on both sides of the sheet by electrolytic tin coating.
Tin mill products are provided as wide coils or sheets with tin using the MSA based process.
Black plate &#; used for the production of transport containers, lids, toys, guide signs and for further metal coating.
Electrolytic tinned plate &#; used for the production of food packages, beverage containers, decorative tins, lids, closures, 2 piece cans, 3 piece cans, drawn cans, ends, crown caps, toys and other products.
