AkzoNobel’s Packaging Coatings division has introduced a groundbreaking internal coating technology, Accelshield™ 300, for aluminium beverage cans. This innovative solution is free of harmful substances like bisphenols, styrene, PFAS, and formaldehyde and offers superior corrosion protection, flexibility, and sensory performance compared to existing industry technologies. The company’s commitment to sustainability and performance is evident in this new product, which has received approval from the FDA and key beverage brands, as well as compliance with current and upcoming EU regulations.
Accelshield™ 300 also improves production efficiency and flavour performance while seamlessly integrating into existing production lines. The launch of this technology follows the recent release of Accelshield™ 700 for beverage ends and Accelstyle™ 100 and 200 varnishes for aluminium cans, all free of harmful substances. AkzoNobel is dedicated to developing safe and reliable technologies to ensure continuity of supply and help customers stay ahead of the competition in the industry.
“We’re proud to offer a sustainable alternative that exceeds current regulations and provides better performance for our customers. Accelshield™ 300 is a long-term solution that showcases our dedication to innovation and helping the industry transition to safer and more efficient products,” said Chris Bradford, Marketing Director at AkzoNobel’s Industrial Coatings business. Beverage can manufacturers can expect to benefit from AkzoNobel’s forward-thinking approach to product development and commitment to excellence in the market.
