The Science Behind Aluminum Soda Can Coatings

  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?

  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 ...
