Maleïs® is s steel range with a proven track record on the market. Engineered for outstanding mechanical performance, it also offers improved ductility and enables the production of thinner, more efficient easy-open ends.
Compatible with all sterilisation systems, Maleïs® is particularly well suited for sterilisation processes without counter pressure, ensuring reliability even under demanding conditions.
With Maleïs®, you can:
As consumer expectations for convenience continue to rise, packaging must become easier to use without compromising safety, product integrity or production efficiency. Maleïs® OpenUp has been specifically developed to meet these challenges.
While the existing Maleïs® portfolio already covers a wide range of strength levels (from 460 MPa to 700 MPa), meeting the most demanding EOE requirements, the OpenUp extension targets a critical differentiator: opening performance.
By precisely optimising the steel’s microstructure, a tear force can be reduced by 15% or more compared to regular grades, while maintaining the mechanical robustness required for industrial forming, processing and handling.
What does this mean in practical terms?
Maleïs® OpenUp also offers tight control of mechanical properties, with minimal variation in yield strength. This consistency ensures:
