High-performance resins for metal packaging coatings

Market needs are changing. New regulations, changing product classifications, and consumer preference are driving can makers and brands away from products that use BPA. It’s not a matter of “if” formulators should make the change but rather “when.” Yet formulators must do this at a reasonable cost without sacrificing performance. So a lot depends on your coating formulation.

With BPA-NI Eastman Tetrashield™ protective resin systems, Eastman has redefined what coating systems can do. Tetrashield offers a unique balance of durability and flexibility to improve performance, regulatory compliance, shelf life, and consumer safety. Protect cans, your bottom line, and your reputation with Tetrashield!
