Can tinplate be used as a water tower? Is hot water durable?

Answer:

But because tinplate is very thin iron sheet, forming force is poorer, cannot make water tower. However, the tinplate has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and non toxicity. It can be used as the inner container of the water tower. It is sanitary and durable. However, when cleaning, must not scratch the surface of the tin layer, otherwise it is easy to rust.
Tinplate is commonly known as tin plated thin steel plate. It is a cold-rolled low carbon steel sheet or strip coated with pure tin on both sides. Tin plays a major role in preventing corrosion and rusting.
