5 Cold Rolling. Coating. The world of Rasselstein. 5 Hot rolled steel strip in thicknesses of mostly 2-3 mm is the starting material for the production of tinplate. A cold rolling process reduces the thickness to between and mm, depending on customer requirements. Electrolytic coating with tin or chromium/chromium oxide protects the product from corrosion. The products ANDRALYT electrolytic tinplate ANCROLYT electrolytic chromium coated steel (ECCS/TFS) ANDRAFOL tinplate or ECCS/TFS lacquered or film-laminated with PP, PET or PE Blackplate uncoated Widths from 10 mm to 1,200 mm Thicknesses from mm to mm Supply forms coils, sheets with straight or scroll cut, narrow strip

Innovative spirit as a leader for technological advances 1769 First plate rolling mill in Germany 1934 World s first electrolytic strip tinning line 1972 Europe s first six-stand tandem cold rolling mill 1975 Europe s first high-speed continuous annealing furnace with vertical strip pass 1991 Europe s first line for lacquering and coating of wide strip 1998 Commissioning of a laser welding machine for tinplate 2005 World s largest production site for tinplate in highest quality after capacity increase

9 Crucial to success. Teamwork a matter of principle. 9 Highly qualified and dedicated employees are the backbone of our company. People who communicate with each other and fulfill their tasks with high individual responsibility. Our staff work in teams and set themselves targets by which their performance is measured.

10 10 Conserving natural resources. Recycling the key to success. Benefits Tinplate is the most recycled packaging material in Europe; for years the recycling rate in Germany exceeds 80%. Due to its magnetic properties tinplate can be reprocessed at low cost, with high efficiency and environmental friendly at the same time. Tinplate products can be recycled time and time again, without its quality ever deteriorating to produce new high quality steel products.
