Coating is the automated process of painting aluminum prior to manufacturing. Pre-painted aluminum can be used for different purposes such as roofing, insulation panels, air ducts and roller shutters. But it is also widely used in the food industry for different reasons. In particular, painted aluminum containers are more tolerant of foods with corrosive pH or high salinity than bare aluminum trays. In addition, the coating improves the aesthetics of the container: a property that has become a key component of successful marketing. Consumers prefer visually stimulating packaging to standardized packaging. Painted aluminum for the food industry
Aluminum creates a protective oxide coating and is highly resistant to corrosion. Painting can further improve this property, making this material ideal for the food industry. Italcoat supplies manufacturers of corrosive food containers with coated aluminum laminated to polypropylene film with a sterilizable glue. Aluminum foil is subject to precise quality control in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices of all European food contact materials regulations.
Advantages of painted food containers
The coated aluminum with polypropylene film developed by ABLPACK has many advantages: it is suitable for the retort process, has a long shelf life, has perfect adhesion to the laminate during the manufacturing process and has high corrosion resistance.
