Is it possible to coat Aluminium and Stainless steel with a food grade polymer

? Hi, Glenn. Although I am sure that there are food grade polymers that can be applied to stainless steel, why are you expecting tobacco products to be unaffected by polymers, but to be affected by contact with stainless steel?

Stainless steel is widely used in supercritical pharmaceutical manufacturing, and hard chrome plating is used on the surfaces of packaging machinery exposed to chewing tobacco and snuff, whereas to my limited knowledge polymer coatings are not used in either application. So I am not seeing why you want to coat the stainless. Thanks and good luck.

A. Check out Fusion bond epoxy eg:
Interpon HD 30 marketed through Akzo Nobel in Australia.
Hope this helps

A. Hi Deepika. It would be conventional to do a zinc phosphate pretreatment on the steel surface to increase adhesion and reduce corrosion before the polymer coating. The polymer coating might involve spraying a powder onto the part, or dipping the part into a fluidized bed of powder, then heating the part to make the powder fuse and flow. But other polymers like polyurethane might be sprayed on or brushed on wet. As a student, are you certain that you understand the question, including the meaning of "polymer"? It's pretty broad, and you'd probably need to give us an indication of which polymer out of many thousands of possible polymers you are interested in before anyone can tell you the potential application techniques for that polymer. Good luck.
