Black Plate
- Black Plate is a light gauge, low carbon, cold reduced steel intended for use in the non-tinned state, for prepainting, or for the production of other Tin Mill Products dependent on end use corrosion protection requirements.
Single Reduced
- Single Reduced product is cold rolled to the finished gauge, then continuously annealed and coated with a thin layer of tin.
