Description
Summary:To provide lightweight returnable glass bottles, a technology for SnO 2 coating, which has a resistance to mechanical abrasion and repeated alkaline attacks, was recently developed. This advanced coating method treated under special chemical vapor deposition (CVD) conditions enables us to produce lightweight returnable bottles with about 20% weight reducing, which have nearly the same strength as conventional ones. The CVD conditions are as follows. (1) The temperature on an outer surface of the bottle ranged from 550 to 700°C. (2) The coating thickness of SnO 2 film is in the range of 40 to 100 nm.
