Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A coated sheet metal for use in manufacturing drawn and ironed seamless containers consisting essentially of a metallic substrate coated with a thermosetting organic coating which has been heated for a time to effect a partial cure in the range of between about 1 and about 75% MEK insoluble residue, which cure provides a bond between the coating and the metallic substrate and a coating with the ability to elongate with the metallic substrate without becoming detached from the metallic substrate in a drawing and ironing operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A sheet product according to claim 1 wherein the metallic substrate is selected from the group consisting of blackplate, electrolytic chromium-coated container steel, tinplate and aluminum.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
