High Performance Thin Film Barrier Coatings for Metal Packaging

通常，金属包装在衬底的内侧用有机涂层保护，以防止产品被金属污染和被产品降解。此外，外表面通常是出于装饰目的而印刷的。环氧基涂料是金属包装最重要的防护技术。由于它们对各种食品和化学品具有优异的耐化学性，并对各种基材具有良好的附着力，因此被广泛使用。该项目将寻求开发一套新的薄膜涂层，具有更好的阻隔性能，降低制造成本，提高生产率。

Generally, metal packaging is protected with an organic coating on the internal side of the substrate to safeguard against contamination of the product by the metal and degradation of the metal by the product. Additionally, the external surface is often printed for decorative purposes. Epoxy based coatings are the most important protective technology used for metal packaging. They are used due to their outstanding chemical resistance to a wide range of food products and chemicals and possess excellent adhesion to all kinds of substrates. This project will seek to formulate a new set of thin film coatings with improved barrier properties, lowering manufacturing costs and increasing productivity.
