Metals packaging

Although metallic packaging is also used for pharmaceutical products, its use is restricted to blisters supports, which have no contact with the formulation, and tubes for ointments. 

Some dyes react with food constituents or with metal packaging to yield colorless, sometimes toxic degradation products. Therefore, methods for determining the nature and amount of dye present in a food are essential for continuous quality control and to monitor the behavior of dyes during the various stages of processing (131,155,156). 

Irrespective of work conditions in different situations (e.g., chemical factories, heavy industries, metal/package industries), eye protection becomes an important aspect of human safety. Present-day industries use a variety of substances that are... 

Chapter 4 describes how the electrical nature of corrosion reactions allows the interface to be modeled as an electrical circuit, as well as how this electrical circuit can be used to obtain information on corrosion rates. Chapter 5 focuses on how to characterize flow and how to include its effects in the test procedure. Chapter 6 describes the origins of the observed distributions in space and time of the reaction rate. Chapter 7 describes the applications of electrochemical measurements to predictive corrosion models, emphasizing their use in the long-term prediction of corrosion behavior of metallic packages for high-level nuclear waste. Chapter 8 outlines the electrochemical methods that have been applied to develop and test the effectiveness of surface treatments for metals and alloys. The final chapter gives experimental procedures that can be used to illustrate the principles described.
