Metal bottle interior processed to stop nickel leaching and taste altering effects

Abstract

Disclosed is a metal bottle interior processed to stop nickel leaching and taste altering effects. A process of stainless steel passivation performed with machines attached to specific expanding buffing cloths coated with buffing compounds or fine abrasives such as jewelers rouge. A chemical or electrical process may also be performed. The purpose of the process is to achieve a smooth high gloss mirror reflective finish for the purposes of 1) sealing in nickel and other metals in stainless steel as a prevention of any toxicological health risks, 2) preventing the chemical alteration of acidic liquids that alter and influence the taste of acidic liquids in stainless steel, and 3) leaving a smooth surface to provide for more thorough cleaning and reducing the possibility of bacteria culturing
