Enhancing can coatings across industries
Metal cans have long been a dependable means of transporting materials across various industries, including food and beverages, paint, and household products. To safeguard the shelf life of the product container, a robust and effective inner lining must be applied. Eastman offers a range of performance resins and additives for metal can coatings, protecting the content and maintaining the integrity of the can in demanding environments.
Eastman Solus™ performance additives
Eastman Solus™ offers excellent adhesion properties, creating a strong bond between the coating and the metal surface of the can. This prevents delamination or peeling and ensures the durability of the inner lining. It also provides flexibility to withstand stresses and deformations during handling and transportation, preventing cracks or flakes.
Eastman Tetrashield™ protective resin systems
Tetrashield in can coatings provides strong chemical resistance and durability. The robust barrier ensures the durability of the coating, resisting scratching, abrasion and impact while offering protection against moisture, acids and corrosive substances.
Product types
Solus™ performance additives are cellulose esters designed for can coatings to offer exceptional film formation, adhesion, chemical resistance, clarity and gloss. They meet regulatory requirements for food contact applications, making them an excellent choice for high-performance can coatings.
Tetrashield™ protective resin systems offer exceptional benefits for can coatings, including chemical resistance, corrosion protection, durability, strong adhesion, versatility and reliable performance in demanding environments.
