AkzoNobel Launches FDA-Approved Beverage Can Coating
AkzoNobel’s internal coating technology produces coating for beverage cans and is designed to meet stringent standards.
AkzoNobel launches an internal coating technology free of bisphenols, styrene, PFAS and formaldehyde.
The company’s Packaging Coatings business has developed AccelshieldTM 300, an inside spray coating for beverage cans with advanced corrosion protection, flexibility and sensory performance.
The new technology has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and key beverage brands and is also compliant with current and future EU regulations restricting the presence of intentionally added bisphenols, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol F (BPF).
The introduction of the new product follows the launch of AccelshieldTM 700 – a styrene-free and bisphenol-free beverage end internal coating – and the AccelstyleTM 100 and 200 overprint varnishes for two-piece aluminum beverage cans, which are free of bisphenols, styrene and PFAS.
