NON-BPA METPOD® COATINGS FROM METLAC GROUP HELPING TO PRESERVE THAT MOUNTAIN SPRING FRESHNESS.

摘要

Two significant events in the canmaking world happened at the turn of the year: the start up of Tata Steel's film-laminating line for packaging steels, and the decision by a leading Chinese canmaker that it would be setting up a beverage can plant in Europe. Tata's investment in The Netherlands offers canmakers supplying the food industry the opportunity to offer metal packaging with a lower environmental impact, because the polyester-coated cans don't need the application of liquid coatings with their associated curing systems. And they easily get round issues relating to BPA. This development is long overdue, because there's been only limited capacity with demand coming from the aerosol can and seafood industries in Europe and North America.
