New alternative to epoxy can coatings helps alleviate safety concerns
While epoxy might make a really unbeatable coating for a plant floor, it and derivatives like BPA have not been perceived as the safest coatings for cans.
Interior epoxy can coatings with Bisphenol-A (BPA) have certainly gotten a bad reputation. While known, safe alternative can coatings do exist, they often don’t use the same supporting equipment or technologies as coatings with BPA, so a coating change could be expensive.
Dow Coating Materials, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, has developed a novel technology that can be used as a drop-in alternative to incumbent epoxy-based metal can coatings.
