Crosslinkers for Food & Beverage

Superior Protection and Performance with Polyurethane Coatings for Can Packaging

Interior can coatings have the task of protecting both the can and the filling material from aging or contamination. Such coatings are also applied to the outside to give the can a good look and feel. Blocked VESTANAT® polyurethane crosslinkers offer solutions for interior as well as exterior coating applications, ensuring prime protection.

Unmatched durability for can coatings  
Our advanced polyurethane (PU) coatings are essential for both interior and exterior can applications. They provide a durable, flexible barrier that protects and safeguards metal packaging from corrosion, chemicals, and external influences.

Food-safe interior coatings
Our PU coatings create a safe, non-reactive layer that prevents contamination, preserving the integrity of food, beverages, and other contents. With excellent resistance to acids, oils, and carbonation, they are perfect for canned foods, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Their superior adhesion guarantees long-lasting protection without flaking or degradation, maintaining product quality and flavor. 

Enhanced exterior protection
Our PU coatings enhance durability and aesthetics can exteriors. They resist UV radiation, moisture, and mechanical wear, preventing fading, rust, and surface damage. The coatings' inherent flexibility absorbs impacts and withstands dents without cracking, making them ideal for high-impact environments.
