A can-do approach to packaging
We love the convenience of cans – great for grabbing drinks on the go, fantastic for preserving flavours of foods. And now there’s a progressive approach to can coatings that means consumers can still enjoy the benefits without the health concerns.
CANVERA™ Polyolefin Dispersions from Dow offer a water-borne, spray-applied replacement for epoxy coating systems, minimizing epoxy and bisphenol A (BPA) and delivering brand owners a next generation approach to safe, sustainable can coatings that will appeal to health-conscious consumers.
Inspirational technology inspires design advances
The secret behind CANVERA™ Polyolefin Dispersions? Patented BLUEWAVE™ Technology from Dow, facilitating creation of ultra-thin, thermoplastic film coatings that can be spray-applied from water-borne formulations to the inside of cans, protecting contents from changes in colour, taste or appearance.
The wafer-thin, protective lining can be applied directly to metal surfaces by the same equipment used for current epoxy coatings, and offers the features brand owners rely on: excellent food and flavour retention, adhesion, and corrosion protection.
CANVERA™ Polyolefin Dispersions : a drop-in, next generation option, helping progressive brand owners to move away from materials of concern without compromising on can performance.
