TITLE: POLYMER LAMINATED DRAG CAST CAN STOCK AND METHOD.
European Patent Application EP0584226 A1

ABSTRACT:
Abstract not available for EP0584226
Abstract of corresponding document: US5197536
A method for making a polymer laminated drag cast aluminum alloy
container stock material includes, in a preferred embodiment, drag
casting an aluminum alloy suitable for forming into beverage containers
into a sheet. The sheet is then cold rolled, at least one of the
sheet's surfaces is cleaned and pretreated and a polymer material is
laminated thereto. The polymer laminate on the drag cast aluminum alloy
surface permits the use of drag cast aluminum alloy sheet material to
be utilized, for example, as aluminum beverage container stock
material.
