Emalex–F enamel
TS U 24.3-24514086-015:2006
Enamel is a suspension of titanium dioxide rutile, fillers in mix with epoxy phenol composition.
Emalex–F white enamel is recommended for inner coating of cans. Emalex–F is used as protective inner coating of cans which are in contact with food stuff.
Recommended coating – 12-14 g/m2 according to solid residual.
Drying temperature – 170-175˚Ñ.
Drying time – 10-12 min.
