Objective Chromium based treatments are currently used for the passivation of tinplate and have a major influence on the quality and performance of the product. The problem for tinplate producers is the substitution of chromate-based tinplate passivation processes with innovative Cr-free, environmentally friendly, passivation solutions. The project will address this industrial problem to find adequate technical and economic solutions in the whole tinplate-can manufacturing cycle. The objective of the project is the development of innovative Cr-free tinplate with Cr-free passivation and possibly Cr-free lacquers while taking into account all the phases of the food-can production process. This will achieve better ecological results and, at least, equal product properties with respect to the current tinplate.
