The only way to determine if aluminum containers are suitable for use
with a given formula is, once again, to conduct corrosion tests...
bonding is expected to provide better corrosion protection.
However, this expectation is only true for certain types of
formulas.
The only way to determine if aluminum containers are
suitable for use with a given formula is, once again, to conduct
corrosion tests, which could be either a traditional storage
stability test (static storage test) or the shorter electrochemical
corrosion test.
In the next issue, I’ll continue the series on spray package
metallurgy and corrosion behavior with a discussion on the
corrosion properties of steel and tinplated steel.
Pair O Docs has a state-of-the art electrochemical corrosion
testing laboratory; please contact me if you would like to know
more about our faster and predictive corrosion testing. You
can also visit our new website which has a short Vision Video
that discusses all our corrosion prevention and control services.
Please also contact me if you would like to a have our Elements
of Spray Package Corrosion short course taught at your R&D
facility. Thank you for reading Corrosion Corner and I’ll see you
in October. SPRAY
