The Science Behind Aluminum Soda Can Coatings

图片
  You've probably heard some horror stories about your soda of choice. But could the seemingly insignificant and greatly overlooked soda be worse for you than the drink inside? A lot happens to soda cans under their aluminum surfaces. They are lined with a protective cover that prevents the soda inside from reacting with the metal.    Carbonated Carbonated beverages are often corrosive, not only to our teeth but to metal as well. This is because, in addition to carbonated water and lots of sugar, sodas also contain acid. Acids react with and corrode all kinds of metals, including the aluminum used in soda cans. If a typical soda is packed in an aluminum can without a protective cover, it can end up eating the material. This is because of phosphoric acid and citric acid. Soda can manufacturers, such as Ball, have determined that these substances have high corrosion levels and must be compensated for. To prevent any accidents, a protective coating is added to the inside of ...

Paint vs. Powder Coil Coating: Which Is Better?

图片
  There are many questions in the powder coating vs. paint debate. How durable are powder coatings? Is powder coating better than paint? The answer can be boiled down to which of the two processes best meets the following criteria in   coating lines. 1. Cost-effectiveness of paints and powder coatings When considering economic factors, the main benefit of the powder coating process is its efficiency. With a typical transfer efficiency of 60-70%, approximately two-thirds of the powder used for a given application will achieve its intended purpose. In contrast, coatings have a transfer efficiency of only 30-35%, thus wasting two-thirds of the coating used for a given application. Even if you take the remaining volume into account, the powder application does not lose everything. Once the powder coating is complete, the percentage of powder that falls to one side can be collected and reused in the next cycle. Spray painting is not possible with this form of protection, and if it ...

Benefits of Superior Coil Coating Technology

  The   coil coating   method provides a fast, uniform, controlled way to ensure continuous line speed and quality. Nowadays, with the development of industrial technology, industrial automated coating lines have been applied in various fields, such as automotive, construction, home appliance, food and packaging industries.     Metal substrates Steel Cold rolled and hot rolled steel Galvanized steel Galfan Galvalume Aluminum Compared to most other application methods, coil coating is close to 100% efficient from a paint application standpoint. In contrast to spray coating,  coil coated  products provide uniform film thickness as opposed to the thicker films at edges, corners and curves more typical of spray coating.   Benefits of coil coating Consistent quality High speed Near 100% efficiency at a lower cost high quality Reduced environmental impact Wide range of metal types Wide range of coating types available Flexibility   Double Sides ...

Deficiencies of the Current Coating Equipment Production Line

    At present, China's  coating production line  has become a sizeable estimate of several thousand, the introduction of large coating production lines accounted for almost half of about. Although the development of China's coating equipment industry can be described as fast-changing, but the overall level is still a large gap. This also prompts us to overcome some obstacles and shortcomings in the process of industry development. From the viewpoint of our existing coating equipment production lines, the following problems mainly exist.   Design level There are few advanced and mature powder coating line equipment occupying the market in China, even if the domestic construction of its own coating production line, some key equipment on the production line is also introduced for more. Secondly, the quality of some basic components and control elements in China is not up to par and cannot withstand long-term tests. Therefore, despite the advanced design of the pro...

Coating Line design: Pre-treatment, Painting and Drying

  The   coating production line   mainly consists of pre-treatment electrophoresis line, sealed bottom coating line, medium coating line, top coating line, finishing line and its drying system. The quality of our coating equipment or machinery is top-notch, with high productivity and good performance, suitable cost performance, and most importantly, our company is trustworthy.   Pre-treatment equipment Spray multi-station pretreatment unit is a common surface treatment equipment, the principle is the use of mechanical flushing to accelerate the chemical reaction to complete the process of oil removal, phosphating, washing and other processes.   Full immersion method The aluminum is completely immersed in the tank solution, to be treated for a period of time and then removed to complete the goal of oil removal or rust removal phosphating. The geometry of the workpiece is different, as long as the liquid can reach the place, can achieve the goal of treatment, whic...

The Benefits of Aluminium-Zinc Coated Steel

  The Benefits of Aluminium-Zinc Coated Steel   AZ vs GI coatings   Aluminium-zinc coating The mild steel substrate is continuously hot dipped in a formulation of Aluminium (55%), Zinc (43.5%) and Silicon (1.5%). The process of applying an Aluminium-Zinc alloy in a hot dip delivers superior oxidation-resistance therefore extending the service lifespan of a steel roof by up to four times that of galvanised steel. Galvanised coating Offering some defence against corrosion-causing elements, galvanised metal is a sheet of steel which has been coated with a thin layer of Zinc oxide (99.8% Zinc). Galvanising offers almost twice the service life of the steel substrate. Notable differences There is a visible difference between the two coatings as an Aluminium-Zinc alloy metal appears to almost have a matte finish while galvanised steel has a unique shiny spangle appearance. Galvanised metal corrodes linearly, and eventually, the Zinc coating is completely depleted, whereas an Alu...

Aluminum: A Guide to Pretreatment and Roll Coating

  Aluminum is a material widely used in the production of automobiles, aircraft, panels, construction and packaging components. In addition, aluminum can be coated with different substances or paints to increase its durability and attractiveness and to make it more durable. There is a wide range of  aluminum coatings  that were created according to the needs of customers and market trends. In fact, by surface coating we are not only referring to the industrial process of applying a coating on ACP. There are two main reasons for selecting a specific type of coating: to protect the material being coated and to improve its aesthetic and functional properties. For this reason, the type of coating varies depending on the end goal and the application area.   TZ1600-40 Double Sides & Double  Coatings Line   Aluminum coil pretreatment The surface of the coil is cleaned of oil and impurities by means of chemical cleaning agents and chemical conversion solvents, ...
