Abstract

A major evolution is in sight in the area of packaging steel. After a period of twenty years of continuous improvement of organic coatings for packagings, mainly those applied by varnishing, a totally new process for the coating of steel is under development : extrusion coating. This paper explains the stakes, the fabrication method and the evolutions of these new steel packagings, which will soon be present in our daily life.
