 NORSK HYDRO/VAW(Merger) - COMP/M.270 [2002] ECComm 4 (4 March 2002)
Aluminium can be shipped in its molten form in insulated ladles directly to a user‘s plant, or it can be cast into ingots (shapes for remelting), rolling slabs (rectangular), or billets (circular) of varying sizes and shapes, either in a pure form or alloyed with other metals (such as magnesium, silicon, manganese, copper or zinc).
Generally speaking, aluminium producers are able to produce the full range of standard FRPs and can switch production between the different types easily and at little cost simply by using slabs in a width according to the customers‘ demand up to the maximum width of the mill.
The market investigation concluded that aluminium food can sheet is not substitutable with tinplate food can sheet as a price increase of aluminium food can sheet of 5% to 10% would be profitable, as it would not necessarily induce can makers to switch to tinplate food can sheet.
