Metal containers lacquering

Colored lacquers and varnishes may incorporate metallic containing pigments. 

It is important that the container is made of material that will not interact, either physically or chemically, with the essential oil. For the quantities handled by the aromatherapist, neutral glass is the best choice. Suppliers will use metal containers for larger quantities. Aluminium with an internally lacquered surface would be suitable for amounts up to 10 kg, while internally lacquered steel drums would be appropriate for amounts above... 

Metal containers are strong, relatively unbreakable, opaque, and impervious to moisture vapour, gases, odours and bacteria, providing they are pinhole-free. They are also resistant to both high and low temperatures. However, metals require the application of coatings and lacquers to prevent chemical reaction and corrosion from the inside or outside. Special coatings and coating techniques have therefore been developed for this purpose, e.g. tinplate is in fact a coated material. 

An alternative method, which provides a greater degree of protection than a simple snap-on cap is to apply a screw finish to the container so that it will accept a prethreaded plastic or metal cap. The actual neck finishes applied to metal containers, and hence the caps used, are not identical to those applied to glass. Aluminium caps are usually preferred for compatibility and appearance reasons in that they can be made to match the container itself. Like the container they can be plain or lacquered internally and externally and decorated or embossed/debossed with a logotype. Due to their relatively shallow depth, caps are produced by drawing rather than impact extrusion. 

In those days, we were interested in coating metals like bare iron, steel, stainless steel or other metals non-electrochemically by using polyaniline dispersions or polyaniline containing lacquers. The first experiments had shown that some improvement in corrosion protection could be obtained [109], Further progress in lacquer formulation had been the basis for quite successful long-term salt spray studies [110], but the effects observed in this practical test have not been convincing for corrosion protection experts.

Furfuryl alcohol is shipped in bulk or dmms. Although not corrosive to metals, it is a powerful solvent and penetrant containers, tanks, lines, and valves need to be in good condition to avoid potential leakage. Furfuryl alcohol can be stored in containers lined with baked phenoHc resin coatings however, it should not be put in containers that are coated with lacquers, varnishes, or epoxy resins because it is an excellent solvent for many such coatings. 

The procedure of determination of metals in the thin layer without elimination of the non-volatile organic components for different paints containing inorganic pigments was developed. Several techniques of sampling from paint-and-lacquer materials for X-ray fluorescence analysis were proposed. For the study of nonhomogenity of metal distribution in the thin layer we used additionally the local method of X-ray fluorescence analysis. 

Oxidation of lubricating oil can result in lacquer deposits, metal corrosion, or thickening of the oil. Most lubricants contain oxidation inhibitors. However when additives are used up, oxidation of the oil itself begins. The quantity of oxidation in an oil sample is measured by differential infrared analysis. 

Meat Products. Laboratory investigations as well as practical experience have shown that aluminum containers do not cause the objectionable darkening of meat that occurs with other metals. Wunsche (13) found that luncheon meat stored in lacquered aluminum cans retained its normal color after more than one year, while a slight surface discoloration was observed on the same product packed in lacquered tinplate cans. 

Small arms ammo can be so severely affected by moisture that a special indicating lacquer was developed for 20mm rounds which changes color from grey to black on w exposure (Ref 59) Effect of Moisture on Pyrotechnics Pyrot formulations usually contain finely powdered metal fuels such as Mg, Al, Fe, Cu, etc, all of which can react with moisture to yield H2. This effect has been dubbed gassing in pyrot circles, and is the major problem associated with the storage of hermetically sealed ammo of this... 

The WTD is a cumulative rating based on observation of deposits in the groove and land areas of the piston and lacquer on piston skirts which have been weighted and calculated in accordance with the test procedure. The evalated lubricating oils also contained, where required, conventional viscosity improver, a metal detergent and ZDDP in mineral base oil. The WTD ratings were as follows ... 

Bullet jacket materials include gilding metal cupronickel cupronickel-coated steel nickel zinc-, chromium-, or copper-coated steel lacquered steel brass nickel- or chromium-plated brass copper bronze aluminum/alumi-num alloy Nylon (Nyclad), Teflon- and cadmium-coated steel (rare). Black Talon bullets have a black molybdenum disulfide coating over the metal bullet jacket which acts as a dry lubricant. Steel jackets are frequently coated both inside and outside as an anticorrosion measure. Gilding metal is by far the most common bullet jacket material. Tin is claimed to have lubricating properties and is sometimes incorporated in bullet jacket material. The alloy is known as Lubaloy or Nobaloy and contains 90% copper, 8% zinc, and 2% tin. 

However, when flexible vinyls such as these are printed—particularly with areas of ink containing a conductor like carbon black—difficulty can arise from arcs at the surface. Similar problems can be found with metallic print, and with metallized surfaces (which normally cannot be welded) lacquered surfaces too can impair or prevent welding. 

The metal used most commonly is aluminium and this can give a decorative finish to items such as components for motor vehicles, containers for cosmetics, jewellery, and so on. An overlay of tinted lacquer sometimes is applied to enhance the versatility of this form of coating. 

Tamarind preparations shall be packed in tin plate or glass containers which should be sealed appropriately. The tin plate container shall be lacquered with acid-resistant lacquer. Each container should be labelled with the name of the material, name and address of the manufacturer, net mass of the contents of the container in grams, date of manufacture, list of additives and manufacturer s licence number. Requirements for tamarind concentrate and limits of heavy metals are given in Table 20.8. 

Lacquer or shellac was sometimes layered to produce a material that could be carved or molded. Popular examples of this process are the red Asian cinnabar ware and union cases used for early photographs. Most cinnabar-ware actually contains no cinnabar, although this toxic sulfide of mercury was originally used as a coloring agent. Some of this lacquer-ware is composed entirely of many layers of lacquer, but most has a base of wood or metal.
