Eastman Solus™ for can coatings

Safer inside and out
Metal cans have long been reliable for food storage. That reliability begins with the white and clear coatings in those cans. Eastman Solus™ performance additives are an integral part of high-performance can linings that protect the can and its contents, keeping the outside safe from corrosion and the contents safe from the metal storing them.

Better coating — better cans

Manufacturers that seek improved line efficiency and less waste and formulators seeking improved protection and appearance can benefit from using Solus™ performance additives.

Solus™ can improve the productivity and appearance of can coatings thanks to efficient delivery of flow and leveling benefits in can interiors and exteriors.

Solus™ meets food safety and regulatory requirements, including available food contact certifications in the United States and Europe.
