Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for corrosion-protective pretreatment of tinplate, in which already in a single process step, a corrosion-protective
- the tinplate is anodically polarized in an electrolyte containing silicates of the composition M 2 O nSiO 2 , where M is an alkali metal ion or quaternary ammonium ion and n is a natural number between 0.8 and 7.
- a subsequent conventional passivation of the tinplate surface can additionally permanently preserve the metallic appearance of the tinplate surface, wherein passivation with an acidic aqueous composition based on water-soluble compound of zirconium and titanium is particularly effective and offers additional advantages.
- Tinplate pretreated in accordance with the invention can be used in particular for the production of food-safe packaging such as beverage cans or cans.
- Tinplate strip is considered in the food industry as a suitable material for the production of packaging units for holding liquids or preserved foods, since tinplate due to the electrochemically noble tin layer even over a prolonged period only small amounts of potentially harmful tin salts in contact with the tin surface Delivers food product. Tinplate strip is therefore an important
- tinplate for can production, which is already provided with an organic topcoat, in order to further minimize the entry of iron salts, which can enter the product if the protective tin layer is damaged and negatively affect the taste of the food.
- lacquered tinplate strip it is necessary to pretreat the tin surface, on the one hand to ensure the adhesion of the paint on the metal surface and on the other hand to build up an additional protection against corrosive infiltration of the paint.
- a suitable pretreatment is the chromating of the tin surface which is still widespread in the state of the art.
- pretreatments of tinplate are known, which include the electrochemical modification of the tin surface and subsequent passivation.
- the aim of this pretreatment methods described in the prior art is in addition to the provision of a suitable Lackhaft groundes to protect against corrosion, in particular the guarantee of color fidelity of pretreated and painted tinplate products in contact with food, the
- the GB 479,746 already describes the problem of discoloration of the inner surfaces of containers made of tinplate, which are in contact with proteinaceous foods, and proposes the
- Tin plate in an ammoniacal electrolyte to impart an anodic current that makes the tin surface insensitive to discoloration by sulfur-containing compounds.
- the anodically oxidized tinplates according to GB 479,746 are then provided with an organic topcoat.
- No. 3,491,001 describes a process for the passivation of tinplates, in which, after an anodic pretreatment in an alkaline electrolyte, a cathodic treatment of the tinplate in an alkaline chromate-containing electrolyte follows.
- An electrolytic process chain as described in US Pat. No. 3,491,001, protects the tin surface against corrosion and before
- the electrolytic chromium-containing passivation also serves as a primer for subsequently applied organic topcoats.
- the object of the present invention is, in particular, to pretreat tinplate products for the production of food packaging in one process step and with as little staining as possible of tin so that an excellent adhesion of organic topcoats to the tinplate with simultaneously durable resistance of the pretreated and painted tin surfaces to discoloration by sulfidic Connections is guaranteed.
- This object is achieved in a process for the electrolytic passivation of tinplate by anodic polarization in an alkaline aqueous electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte contains at least one water-soluble silicate of the composition M 2 0 nSi0 2 , where M is an alkali metal ion or quaternary ammonium ion and n a natural number is between 0.8 and 7.
- Salts which are constituents of the electrolyte in the process according to the invention are considered to be water-soluble in the context of the present invention if their solubility in water at a pH of 8 and a temperature of 20 ° C. is at least 50 g / l, based on the particular salt ,
- water-soluble silicates are compounds of the general empirical formula M 2 O.sub.SiO 2 with M as the alkali metal ion or quaternary ammonium ion and n as the natural number between 0.8 and 7, which at a pH of 8 and a temperature of 20 ° C have a solubility of at least 1 g / l based on Si0 2 .
- the alkali metal ions M of the water-soluble silicates are preferably selected from Li, Na and K.
- quaternary ammonium ions with aliphatic radicals, each having not more than 10 carbon atoms, are equally preferred in electrolytes of the process according to the invention.
- Suitable water-soluble silicates are in particular the so-called water glasses, which are produced by melting Si0 2 with the respective oxide M 2 Q.
- Preferred are such Water glasses whose content of Si0 2 is in the range of 20-40 wt .-%. There are such
- Water glasses are particularly preferred, the molar ratio of Si0 2 : M 2 0 in the range of 2 to 5, in particular in the range of 3 to 4.
- the presence of at least one water-soluble silicate in the electrolyte of the process according to the invention causes a thin silicate layer to be produced on the tinplate during the anodic polarization, which already constitutes a good primer for subsequently applied organic topcoats.
- a thin silicate layer to be produced on the tinplate during the anodic polarization, which already constitutes a good primer for subsequently applied organic topcoats.
- the inventive method thus provides a pretreatment of
- Tinplate products ready, which takes place in a process step and modified tin surfaces suitable to use tinplate as packaging material for food.
- the proportion of water-soluble silicates in the electrolyte of the process according to the invention is preferably at least 0.1% by weight, more preferably at least 1% by weight, particularly preferably at least 2% by weight, but preferably less than 30% by weight preferably less than 20 wt .-% in each case based on the proportion of Si0 second Below a share of
- the layer support based on the element Si, which can be deposited at anodic polarization on the tinplate surfaces is too low to exert a positive effect on the adhesion to subsequently applied organic coating systems.

- the anodic polarization in the method according to the invention is preferably carried out at a
- anodic current densities above 6 A / dm 2 in the context of the present invention are disadvantageous, since at these current densities due to the semiconducting properties of the tin oxide layer, a large portion of the amount of electricity is applied for the evolution of oxygen.
- this oxygen evolution necessitates a strong reduction of the pH in front of the tinplate surface, resulting in increased corrosive removal of the tin oxide layer and, on the other hand, inhomogeneous oxide layers with local defects, which represent a less suitable primer for organic topcoats, due to the intensive evolution of gas bubbles.
- the duration of the anodic polarization in the process according to the invention is preferably at least 0.2 seconds, more preferably at least one second, since at lower
- the tin surface is mainly capacitively reloaded without a sufficient Faraday current flows, which is able to chemically modify the tin surface.
- a polarization time of more than 300 seconds, even at low current densities, does not improve the properties of the oxide covering layer as a coating adhesion base. Rather, with increasing polarization time, the amorphousness of the oxide layer seems to increase due to a constant repassivation of the surface, so that in processes with long-lasting polarization the

However, if the tinplate strip has already been stored and in particular wetted with anticorrosion or forming oils, then a cleaning step for removing organic soiling and salt residues is necessary in most cases before the tinplate can be anodically pretreated according to the invention. Surfactant cleaners known in the art can be used for this purpose.
