  <begin subtitles> 00:00:02:11 00:00:04:15 For decades, BPA based epoxy 00:00:04:16 00:00:06:06 coatings have dominated the 00:00:06:07 00:00:07:23 packaging coatings market, 00:00:07:24 00:00:09:14 especially for beverage cans and 00:00:09:15 00:00:10:14 ends. 00:00:11:03 00:00:12:18 Their performance and cost 00:00:12:19 00:00:14:07 effectiveness, combined with their 00:00:14:08 00:00:16:02 versatility for both water and 00:00:16:03 00:00:18:00 solvent borne applications, made 00:00:18:01 00:00:19:25 the epoxy technology platform 00:00:20:00 00:00:20:22 unbeatable. 00:00:20:23 00:00:22:14 Other chemistries simply didn't 00:00:22:15 00:00:24:02 match up. 00:00:24:03 00:00:25:25 Slowly, market demand began 00:00:26:00 00:00:27:02 to shift. 00:00:27:03 00:00:28:23 Regulations regarding BPA 00:00:28:24 00:00:31:08 in areas like California and France 00:00:31:09 00:00:33:01 started driving conversions to other 00:00:33:02 00:00:35:13 non BPA coating technologies. 00:00:35:14 00:00:36:22 While coating companies tried to 00:00:36:23 00:00:38:23 meet the growing interest in non BPA 00:00:38:24 00:00:41:01 solutions, the first generation or 00:00:41:02 00:00:43:03 Gen one of these coatings lacked 00:00:43:04 00:00:44:06 the robust performance 00:00:44:07 00:00:45:22 characteristics of epoxy. 00:00:45:23 00:00:47:06 The performance can makers and 00:00:47:07 00:00:49:05 brands alike had come to expect 00:00:49:06 00:00:50:21 and rely on for their valued 00:00:50:22 00:00:52:08 products. 00:00:52:09 00:00:54:09 At this point we knew we had to take 00:00:54:10 00:00:56:15 an innovative approach to non BPA 00:00:56:16 00:00:57:23 coating. 00:00:57:24 00:01:00:02 It was time to reinvent the wheel. 00:01:01:15 00:01:03:13 Can makers and brand owners wanted 00:01:03:14 00:01:05:10 coatings that performed like an 00:01:05:11 00:01:07:13 epoxy, did not contain 00:01:07:14 00:01:09:10 BPA and 00:01:09:11 00:01:10:10 were a more sustainable offering 00:01:11:09 00:01:13:04 serving as a long term solution to 00:01:13:05 00:01:14:13 their packaging needs, which 00:01:14:14 00:01:15:24 wouldn't soon be challenged by 00:01:16:00 00:01:17:16 additional chemical regulations. 00:01:18:23 00:01:20:19 We felt strongly that we could only 00:01:20:20 00:01:22:23 meet these expectations with another 00:01:22:24 00:01:24:22 epoxy based approach which did not 00:01:24:23 00:01:26:06 contain BPA. 00:01:27:12 00:01:29:07 With this in mind, we went to work 00:01:29:08 00:01:31:17 on developing a non BPA epoxy, 00:01:31:18 00:01:33:15 a first of its kind technology that 00:01:33:16 00:01:35:05 would change the face of the market. 00:01:36:17 00:01:38:21 Using our safety by design product 00:01:38:22 00:01:40:02 development protocol. 00:01:40:03 00:01:42:02 We screened many monomers and ran 00:01:42:03 00:01:43:13 many tests. 00:01:43:14 00:01:45:07 We quickly learned that not all 00:01:45:08 00:01:47:11 bisphenols are the same. 00:01:47:12 00:01:49:01 These studies led us to the 00:01:49:02 00:01:51:03 discovery of Tetramethyl bisphenol 00:01:51:04 00:01:52:16 F or TMBPF. 00:01:55:01 00:01:57:12 TMBPF is clearly differentiated 00:01:57:13 00:01:59:12 from BPA and other common 00:01:59:13 00:02:01:10 bisphenols like BPF and 00:02:01:11 00:02:03:16 BPS. But we didn't stop there. 00:02:03:17 00:02:05:17 We know trust is essential. 00:02:05:18 00:02:07:13 We sought validation from third 00:02:07:14 00:02:08:12 parties. 00:02:08:13 00:02:10:08 With scientific backing, we 00:02:10:09 00:02:12:15 officially released ValPure 00:02:12:16 00:02:13:15 V70. 00:02:14:12 00:02:16:09 To manufacture any epoxy 00:02:16:10 00:02:18:09 polymer a diglycidyl ether 00:02:18:10 00:02:20:13 or DGE is reacted 00:02:20:14 00:02:23:07 with a secondary extender material. 00:02:23:08 00:02:25:04 Unlike BPA based epoxy 00:02:25:05 00:02:27:02 resins which use BPA as the 00:02:27:03 00:02:29:17 extender material, V70 00:02:29:18 00:02:32:02 does not use any type of bisphenol 00:02:32:03 00:02:33:20 as the extender. 00:02:33:21 00:02:35:03 This is key. 00:02:36:07 00:02:38:18 In the case of V70, the DGE 00:02:38:19 00:02:40:10 component is made from TMBPF. 00:02:41:18 00:02:43:15 The TMBPF is produced 00:02:43:16 00:02:46:08 and subsequently converted to TMBPF 00:02:46:09 00:02:47:08 Diglycidyl ether, or 00:02:48:21 00:02:50:21 TMBPF-DGE, by upstream 00:02:50:22 00:02:52:09 raw materials suppliers. 00:02:53:24 00:02:55:25 Once TMBPF is converted 00:02:56:00 00:02:57:22 to the DGE material, it 00:02:57:23 00:03:00:06 is no longer a bisphenol. 00:03:00:07 00:03:01:07 Since neither 00:03:02:04 00:03:04:06 TMBPF-DGE or the V70 extender 00:03:04:07 00:03:06:13 is the bisphenol, no bisphenols 00:03:06:14 00:03:08:13 of any kind are utilized in 00:03:08:14 00:03:10:11 our V70 production vessels. 00:03:10:12 00:03:11:19 With third party backing and 00:03:11:20 00:03:13:13 approvals across North America, 00:03:13:14 00:03:14:24 Europe, South America and 00:03:15:00 00:03:16:23 Asia-Pacific, this revolutionary 00:03:16:24 00:03:18:23 non BPA epoxy coating 00:03:18:24 00:03:20:22 is the answer the packaging market 00:03:20:23 00:03:22:05 has long needed. 00:03:22:06 00:03:24:10 It offers robust can making 00:03:24:11 00:03:26:11 pack and sensory performance, 00:03:26:12 00:03:27:18 making it the preferred coating 00:03:27:19 00:03:29:13 solution of can makers and brand 00:03:29:14 00:03:30:08 owners alike. 00:03:30:09 00:03:32:08 To date, more than 250 00:03:32:09 00:03:34:07 billion cans coated with 00:03:34:08 00:03:36:22 V70 have entered the market. 00:03:36:23 00:03:39:02 We are working diligently to expand 00:03:39:03 00:03:41:04 our V70 production capabilities 00:03:41:05 00:03:43:00 around the globe to keep up 00:03:43:01 00:03:44:00 with increasing demand. ValPure 00:03:45:17 00:03:47:15 V70. It's the future of 00:03:47:16 00:03:48:18 packaging coatings. <end subtitles>
