Electrochemical tests

Electrochemical studies

Since many years :

• Determination by amperometry if a steel packaging (or tinplate) is able to be a container for a product
• Choosing a package for a given content: bare or lacquered tinplate (in the latter case, choosing a lacquer) using electrochemical amperometry or impedance spectroscopy tests which are quicker than conventional storage tests (at ambient temperature and with accelerated ageing at a higher temperature). This way is very useful to compare the corrosion resistance of new lacquers versus current lacquers (new BPA NI lacquers, subsitution to PAM lacquer…)
• Choosing different corrosion inhibitors with electrochemical tests suited to different container/contents pairs
