Flexibility is the most critical property especially for internal coating, since cans are formed after the coating has been applied. OrgasolÒ thermoplastic additive, when added in a thermoset system, acts as a toughening agent, increasing the flexibility of the coating and its resistance to crack propagation. OrgasolÒ polyamide’s dry lubricant effect and its spherical particle shape offer little traction for abrasive materials. Can coating requires a film with a maximum thickness of 12-15 microns. OrgasolÒ 2001 UD NAT 2 (5 microns) and OrgasolÒ 2002 EXD NAT 1 (10 microns) fit with this requirement and offer uniform particle shape and very narrow particle size distribution. OrgasolÒ powder is easily dispersed in epoxy, phenolic, acrylic, or polyester formulations. Moreover, OrgasolÒ powders can be used in water-based, powder or 100% solid UV/EB curable formulations, all new trends in the can coating market. Recommended grades: OrgasolÒ 2001 UD NAT 2 and OrgasolÒ 2002 EXD NAT 1 If you are interested in Orgasol properties for can coating, please feel free to contact us or download “Can Coating Technical Brochure.”
