valPure V70 Non-BPA Epoxy Coatings
The new valPure V70 Series of non-BPA* epoxy technologies represents the future of epoxy coatings for light metal packaging.
Epoxy is a widely used coating type with an enduring track record of performance, manufacturability and brand protection. Traditionally, epoxy coatings were based on BPA. Products in the valPure V70 Series, however, are based on an epoxy resin platform not made with BPA.
Products in the valPure V70 series provide can makers with a choice of coating solutions and provide consumers with products they can trust. The valPure V70 Series products are non-BPA solutions designed for performance across food, beverage, and household product segments equal to legacy epoxy coatings and are approved internationally.
The valPure V70 Series goes through a more robust development and safety testing protocol than required by international regulatory agencies. The "Safety by Design" process used by Sherwin-Williams is a product development framework modeled after preclinical pharmaceutical safety evaluation. Safety by Design emphasizes food packaging safety, international regulatory compliance and provides unparalleled coating solutions with market longevity.
