METHOD OF PREVENTING FORMATION OF RUST ON END OF METAL CONTAINERS

摘要

A method for preventing formation of rust on the ends of metal containers is described which comprises treating a container sealing composition with a phosphate salt prior to applying the sealing composition to the end of the container. The container sealing composition produced by this method will result in a seal which inhibits the formation of rust on the ends of metal containers under various drying conditions, i.e. oven drying or air drying, regardless of the relative humidity.
