Abstract

Chromium coated packaging steel substrates are used in applications which require a lacquer coating which insulates the can and cans contents form each other. Legislative pressures in Europe defined by REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) have dictated the rem...
