Development Of Lightweight Returnable Bottles

To provide lightweight returnable glass bottles, a technology for SnO2 coating, which has a resistance to mechanical abrasion and repeated alkaline attacks, was recently developed. this advanced coating method treated under special chemical vapour deposition (CVD) conditions, enables the production of lightweight returnable bottles with around 20% weight reduction, having almost the same strength as conventional bottles. The CVD conditions re: Temperature on an outer surface of the bottle ranged from 550-700 deg C; and, the coating thickness of SnO2 film is in the range of 40-100nm.
