Solution

One of the industrial steel products widely used as raw material for subsequent industries is sheet steel (strip), also known as cold rolling coil (CRC). The presence of rust on the strip surface can degrade its quality and lead to significant losses due to unsellability. This prompts the steel industry to apply anti-rust products on the strip.

The problem is that the anti-rust used on the strip often does not meet the needs of the steel industry’s customers. This is particularly true for customers who will process the strip into drums or cans for food storage. These customers require anti-rust that is safe (food grade) when in contact with food, easy to clean, and halal.

If the anti-rust used is not food grade and its halal status is unclear, the steel industry will lose customer trust

Solution

To meet the needs of customers (food industry) using strip, the steel industry needs to use the right anti-rust. Besides being able to protect the strip surface from rust, the anti-rust used must be easy to clean, as well as safe (food grade) and halal when in contact with food. Customers (food industry) require anti-rust that is certified halal by MUI as a guarantee of the halal status of the packaging used.

Success Story 

Eonchemicals provides a solution with EonDos A+, a specially formulated product to meet the demands of the steel industry for protecting strips used in food packaging. EonDos A+ not only contains food grade corrosion inhibitors but is also halal-certified by MUI.

The thin film layer on the strip coil surface resulting from the application of EonDos A+ is very easy to clean. It can be wiped with a clean cloth or washed for optimal results. This product is based on Dioctyl Sebacate (DOS), a synthetic organic oil, making it suitable and safe for use on strips for food packaging.
