PPG INNOVEL PRO technology, an advancement to its non-bisphenol beverage can coating

PPG has introduced PPG INNOVEL® PRO, an advanced internal spray coating for aluminum beverage cans that eliminates the use of bisphenol-A (BPA) or any bisphenol-based starting substances. This next-generation, high-performance acrylic coating builds on the success of PPG Innovel, which has been the market’s most widely used non-BPA internal beverage spray coating for nearly a decade. PPG estimates that Innovel coatings have been applied to over 220 billion cans across 40+ countries.

Key Features of PPG Innovel PRO:

1. BPA-Free and Bisphenol-Free: Complies with global regulations aimed at removing bisphenols from food contact coatings.
2. Enhanced Application Properties: Offers improved performance for can manufacturers, supporting higher production speeds and reducing spoilage.
3. Global Compliance: Meets all international food contact standards, ensuring consumer safety.
4. Lower Migration Profile: Compared to standard epoxy and epoxy-mimic coatings, Innovel PRO has a reduced migration profile, enhancing the safety and integrity of the beverage and can.
5. Sustainability: All PPG Innovel internal spray coatings, including Innovel PRO, have achieved Platinum Cradle-to-Cradle® Material Health Certification, reflecting their commitment to sustainable and safe material use.
