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.
