Abstract: Method for forming glossy and matt surface zones during printing of a can body in a production line comprising: a priming varnishing machine for applying a priming layer to the can body, a printing machine for applying printing colors including at least one glossy printing color to the can body provided with a priming layer, and a finish varnishing machine for applying a finish varnish to the can body provided with a priming layer and printed. A matt varnish is applied as finish varnish, after drying of the inks, by means of a flexographic printing plate controlled by dot-for-dot marking or by means of a cylinder controlled by dot-for-dot marking, to the zones of the can body for the purposes of giving a matt visual aspect. To implement the method, a conventional production line can be re-equipped with simple means.
Abstract: An aerosol can fabrication process comprises the following steps: formation of slugs from an aluminium-based alloy having the following composition, in weight percentage: Si 0.35-0.45 Mg 0.25-0.40 Mn 0.05-0.15 Fe 0.12-0.20 Total of minor elements ?0.15% Al Balance. thermal treatment of the slugs, forced cooling of the slugs, cold impact extrusion of a slug so as to form a can, applying a lacquer inside the can.
