Study Notes

Inner Can Coatings

  • Inner cans are coated with tin, which is divided into several types for different uses.
  • The coating prevents corrosion and reaction with food.

Types of Coatings

A. Verzineal Coating

  • Used for "R" type fruits, which are characterized by protection of the fruit and retention of color.
  • Contains 15% zinc and is used to prevent bad color.
  • Used for products with high color retention, such as beet and cherry.

B. Phenolic Coating

  • Used for some types of meat and seafood, canned food, due to the inadmissibility of Zanfu and Rood.
  • Has flexibility and is used for vegetarians, as it does not affect the taste and aroma of food.
  • Has lower resistance to oxidation than inherited fats.

C. Epoxy Coating

  • Has good temperature and resistance to soldering operations.
  • Used for cans that require high temperature resistance, such as for vinyl products.

D. Vinyl Coating

  • Has high corrosive properties and is used for high-fat foods.
  • Used in combination with epoxy to enhance properties.

E. Polymeric Coating (PET)

  • Used to make steel tins and has a demi-ride poly and amorphous crystalline state.
  • Can be used in different types of bags, such as Shrou A, Shrou B, and Shrou C, each with its own properties and uses.
  • Thickness of the coating can vary from 0.0025 to 0.0127 millimeter to 3 to 9 millimeter.
