Volume 101, Issue 39
The coatings maker AkzoNobel has launched two beverage-can coatings that avoid the use of chemicals with human safety concerns, including styrene, bisphenols, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The coatings are gloss and matte varnishes for can exteriors and join a bisphenol-free can-end coating that the firm released earlier this year. To make the product lines, AkzoNobel plans to spend $35 million on a new plant at its site in Vilafranca, Spain. The expansion will create 50 new jobs when it opens in 2025.
