Protective Coatings
for Steel Packages
The steel container industry produces the pails and drums
required to package the commercial products of modern
industry. Many of these products require the usage of
chemically resistant linings. This brochure is designed to discuss
the Valspar system of protective coatings, and to present a
portion of the extensive product resistance test data amassed
during the many years of service within the steel container
industry.
2
Epoxy-Phenolics
The advent of epoxy resins permitted the formulation of linings with improved flexibility
and excellent resistance to alkaline products. The epoxy resin may be considered a reactive,
caustic resistant plasticizer which, when combined with the proper compatible phenolic,
provides flexibility and alkali resistance with a decrease in acid and solvent resistance as
compared to that of an unmodified phenolic.
In general, the epoxy-phenolic linings have been designed to provide outstanding chemical
resistance in a pH range of 7.0 - 9.0. The resin ratio has been varied in specific formulations
to achieve the desired compromises in flexibility and resistance. Typical products packaged
are alkaline products, fatty acids, detergents, emulsions, foods, general organic chemicals,
surfactants, and water based resins.
These linings are manufactured with raw materials which conform to all the requirements
of the FDA regulations.
Phenolics
The phenolic linings are unmodified phenolics and as such have a high degree of acid and
solvent resistance, and are not recommended for alkaline products. In general, they are
designed for holding products in a pH range of 3.0 - 7.0. Cured films exhibit characteristic
Epoxy-Phenolics offer great product resistance.
properties of good adhesion and limited flexibility.
Typical products which do not affect these linings are acid compounds, agricultural
chemicals, insecticides, corrosive chemicals, solvents and solvent containing materials,
nitrocellulose lacquers and inks, food products, essential oil and petroleum products.
These linings are manufactured with raw materials which conform to all the requirements
of the FDA regulations.
Size Coats are designed to be capable of being recoated with linings to improve fabrication
without being detrimental to the lining’s chemical resistance properties.
These coatings are manufactured with raw materials which conform to all the requirements
of the FDA regulations.
3
Conventional Linings
Conventional linings have Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) higher than 4.3 lbs./gallon. They are recommended for facilities
with incineration. The epoxy-phenolics cure at 450°F metal temperature and the phenolics cure at 425°F metal temperature.

Low Cure These linings are epoxy phenolic materials that cure at 350°F, a full 100
degrees below the optimum cure temperature of the Conventional
Linings
Linings. Since the Conventional Linings and Low Cure Linings have
somewhat different formulations, we cannot expect the chemical
resistance of both series to be the same. However, for container
manufacturers with marginal equipment incapable of achieving full
Conventional Lining cure, the use of the Low Cure Linings could represent
a significant increase in over-all chemical resistance. These Low Cure
Linings also meet 4.3 VOC requirements.

4.3 VOC Compliant
Linings
As local, state, and federal environmental agencies continue to legislate more stringent
pollution control measures, lower VOC linings have become increasingly necessary for
use in the Steel Container Industry. In keeping abreast with these regulations, Valspar’s
Technical Development Group has created a full line of high solids, VOC compliant drum
and pail linings. The advent of these linings allows the manufacturer in non-attainment
areas to comply with VOC regulations.
The pail and drum linings in this section are compliant materials with the VOC determined
by the Environmental Protection Agency suggested method ASTM D2369 and meet
4.3 VOC requirements. The epoxy-phenolics cure at 450°F metal temperature and the
phenolics cure at 425°F metal temperature.

Product Resistance Data
This lining resistance data has been developed primarily by exposure of the product for three months at 120°F
in test cells lined with two coats of spray applied lining. Metal in the test cells was cold rolled steel, which was
carefully cleaned to be free from all surface contaminants. Film thickness and cure complied with the appropriate
lining specification. Similar results may not be obtained in actual customer usage if improperly cleaned metal is
used, insufficient film thickness is applied, inadequate cure is achieved, or a compositional change in a proprietary
product or chemical compounds has occurred. An “X” indicates no observed lining failure; “NA” represents failure
or non-acceptance. A blank signifies that no exposure was performed.
This table is provided for information and reference only. The usage of product resistance tables as a guide for
determining lining suitability is often a satisfactory method of selection. However, the safe and recommended
method, especially when new commodities or proprietary products containing mixtures of various ingredients
readily subject to change are involved, is to perform actual field testing. The facilities and personnel of Valspar's
Steel Container Laboratory are at the disposal of the manufacturing and packaging industries to perform product
pack tests, provide lining test cups or test coupons for the customer's own exposure tests if desired, and for
consultation and suggestions on lining problems.
