Measuring Coating Tin Thickness in Tin Cans

Tin boxes are one of the preferred packaging types, especially for food products. Tin packaging is preferred in order to preserve the structure of canned products until their expiration date. Canned foods should be packaged with a long-term product that will not impair the organoleptic properties of the food such as taste, smell and color.

Although tin cans are useful packaging for canned foods, they can create undesirable problems such as corrosion. tin cans; They undergo physical, chemical and microbiological packaging analyzes in order to prevent all problems that may occur before use.

One of the analyzes performed on tin cans is the "Measurement of Coating Tin Thickness in Tin Cans" analysis. The tinning process in tin cans, in particular, aims to cut off the direct contact of the food with the tin. Thus, it is desired to reduce the risk of possible corrosion or migration.

With the "Measurement of Coating Tin Thickness in Tin Cans" process performed with the XRF method, it is possible to comment on the adequacy of the coating process. The data obtained as a result of the measurement can give information about the coating thickness, whether the process is homogeneous, and whether the coating method is appropriate.
