TCCT®
TCCT® (trivalent chromium-coating technology) is a sustainable, reliable replacement for conventional tin-free packaging steel. Developed by Tata Steel, TCCT complies with European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals) regulations which ban the use of hexavalent chromium in electrolytic chromium coated steel (ECCS) manufacture.
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
