3-Piece Cans
Tinplate cans are optimal for aerosol packaging of all types of products: cosmetics, technical, paints, automotive, domestic, insecticide, food and suitable as cartridges for refrigerant gases.
The wide choice of internal and external protections allows to solve any problem deriving from the contained product.
They are produced with advanced technologies that meet the highest standards of safety and quality, according to international standards and FEA Standards (European Aerosol Federation), available with DOT 2P and 2Q marking that indicates the conformity of the product to the safety standards of the Department of Transportation of the United States and are ISO 9001: 2015 certified.
This makes it possible to obtain highly reliable cans, available in various formats, both tapered and straight, resistant to pressures of 12 -15 – 18 bar and with high quality customizable lithographies.
