The latest version of the European standard EN10202:2022, ‘Cold reduced tinmill products – Electrolytic tinplate and electrolytic chromium/chromium oxide coated steel’ has now been published across Europe, replacing the earlier 2001 version. The new...
A new ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) International standard has been approved that covers the more precise ruggedized optical interference (ROI) based coating thickness measurement technology incorporated into all SpecMetrix® measurement solutions...
The present paper is the result of a vast literature review carried out to set up the state of the art related to BPA, concerning the analytical methodologies used for its determination and the levels detected in food as result of its migration from food contact...
Legislative pressures have led to the mature dominant chromium‐coated steel (ECCS) substrate and epoxy phenolic lacquer replacement in Europe. An investigation was carried out to examine the interaction between a steel surface engineered with a novel, developmental...
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been used to investigate the corrosion mechanism of lightweight tinplate in protein beverage. It is found...
Uneven detinning and partial exposure of the iron-tin alloy layer in cans of Satsuma mandarin were investigated herein. Studies using commercial cans have indicated that these phenomena were primarily caused by the juice of Satsuma mandarin....
