AS THE CAN-MAKING INDUSTRY MOVES TOWARD THE USE OF NON-VOC PRODUCING COMPOUNDS AND COATINGS, A NEW DRYING TECHNOLOGY IS REQUIRED FOR DRYING AND CURING OF THESE SEALANTS. INNOVATION IN THIS AREA STOPPED WHEN THE INDUSTRY MOVED AWAY FROM WATER-BASED COMPOUNDS IN THE 1940S, AND IS JUST BEGINNING AGAIN. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES NEW DRYERS AVAILABLE FOR WATER-BASED SEAMING COMPOUNDS, DRYERS WHICH CAN CATALYTICALLY BURN THE VOCS EMITTED FROM THE MOST POPULAR SOLVENT-BASED COMPOUNDS, INDUCTION DRYING AND HEATING OF CAN ENDS, AND NEW DRYERS REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR COATING PROCESS ON EASY OPEN ENDS.
