Manufacture of draw-redraw cans using an irradiated film laminated or extrusion coated steel sheet material

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The use of organic solvent-based coating compositions in the preparation of coated steel feedstock for use in the manufacture of draw-redraw food and beverage cans is eliminated by using as such can feedstock a laminated or extrusion coated steel sheet (e.g. such as electrolytic chrome/chrome oxide coated steel) having adhered to both major planar surfaces thereof an irradiated multilayered synthetic thermoplastic resin coating comprising:, (1) an adhesive synthetic thermoplastic resin inner layer which is composed of at least a major proportion of a normally solid random copolymer of ethylene with from 1 to 30 weight percent based upon, the weight of such copolymer of an ethylenically, …
