TCCT®
TCCT® (Trivalent Chromium-Coating Technology) is a sustainable, reliable replacement for conventional tin-free packaging steel (ECCS). Developed by Tata Steel, TCCT complies with European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals) regulations.
Food-safe and suitable for a wide range of packaging applications, TCCT enables fast, repeatable processing. It is available in widths up to 1200mm for output optimisation.
Packaging and related applications:
- easy-open ends
- classic (standard) ends
- twist-off caps
- 2-piece DRD
- speciality packaging
- microwaveable cans
- bakeware
REACH-compliant, TCCT has been rigorously tested to prove canmaking and product performance. Its reliable performance means that TCCT is now the preferred option in manufacture of Tata Steel’s Protact® laminated packaging steel.
Key features of TCCT:
- ground-breaking trivalent chromium-coating enables reliable lacquering
- matches the performance levels of ECCS
- designed for easy adoption by canmakers – with no changes required to canmaking process
