Adhesion of Water based UV coatings on tin plate 1

[MathCoRI]

Hello,

I'm trying to coat tin plate with Water based UV coatings. I have a big problem with adhesion of my coating on substrate. Do you have an idea of what can i use as surface treatment (actually only dipping in acetone) or as additive to improve my adhesion?

Thanks

Does the tin-plated steel have any oil on it from the mill? If it does, you need to develop a cleaning routine that removes the oil. This may include a first step of using a detergent in water, followed by a second step of immersion in dionized water, then drying the steel. This surface should be adequate to allow good adhesion by the coating.

Regards,

Cory
