  • advantages are achieved by the combination of inorganic passivation and polymer-containing thin-film coating.
  • the black sheets treated by the process of the invention are eminently suitable for the production of packaging, in particular cans, and can therefore replace the tinplates and tin-free steel sheets (TFS or ECCS) conventionally used as packaging steel. These black sheets are comparable in their corrosion resistance with tinplate and have similarly good adhesion properties for paints and plastic coatings, for example of PP or PET, on as tin-free steel sheets (TFS or ECCS).
