Can Coating Resins

Protection and decoration: these are the two prime functions of can coatings. Some coatings are primarily used for decorative purposes and to provide protection against external influences. Others intended to form an impenetrable barrier between the metal substrate and the contents of the can. We have resin systems for both of these end uses. These coatings must meet very strict standards, especially when it comes to their protective power.

Can coatings or coatings for metal packaging. To meet the high demands of the can coating industry, DSM Coating Resins is the key-supplier for:

  • alkyd resins

Can coating is a dynamic activity. Trends and requirements change, demanding an alert response from the resins supplier. Whether it is devising a variation on an existing coating theme or finding a way to highlight a particular coating feature, the resins supplier must come up with an imaginative solution while always being mindful of the can coating producer's need to cut costs.

Applications/substrates

Can coatings are used for a wide variety of applications. A leading supplier of resins systems must offer its customers solutions that are just as varied. This means maintaining a product range that is geared to the diverse and often highly complex needs of the can coating industry. With a choice of resin systems to suit the specific coating needs of every customer. This is exactly what DSM Resins offers.

The coating requirements in the metal packaging sector are very high; a thin coating-layer has to protect the can against corrosion and has to act as an inert barrier between contents and substrate. This coating must be moreover flexible and resistant to sterilization, yellowing and abrasion.

  • beer & softdrink cans
  • food cans
  • closures
  • aerosols
  • tubes
