More about valPure® NBPA Epoxy

Non-BPA*, V70 Series, designed for epoxy-like performance
Extensive testing demonstrates evidence for an absence of genotoxicity and endocrine¹activity.
Globally relevant product offerings across many end use categories
Broad application in beverage, food and general packaging end uses
Thoroughly vetted starting materials
Designed for use with existing equipment, processes and product knowledge
valPure V70 production involves a type of bisphenol that is different from BPA and is eliminated by the end of the manufacturing process. This has been validated by independent tests showing no detection measuring down to 0.08 parts per billion (ppb).
The valPure V70 Series went through a more robust development and safety testing protocol than required by national and international regulatory agencies.

Safety by Design

Sherwin-Williams uses industry-leading standards and a Safety by Design framework modeled after the preclinical pharmaceutical safety evaluation process. This leads to food-packaging safety and global regulatory compliance. valPure NBPA Epoxy does not contain substances of very high concern.²

Food Contact Notifications (FCNs)

Effective US FDA Food Contact Notifications (FCNs) are the most modern approach to evaluating the safety of new food contact materials and are vital to their sustainability in the marketplace as the global regulatory environment for food and food packaging is dynamic. Sherwin-Williams is the global leader in effective FCNs for non-BPA technologies.
Inventory of Effective FCNs available at: http://www.fda.gov/food/ingredientspackaginglabeling/packagingfcs/notifications/default.htm
No. 1246, 1306, 1305, 1452, 1460, 1632
