The expanded lineup includes PPG INNOVEL® PRO PPG2489, an internal coating for high-speed stamping and high-pressure conditions; PPG Innovel EVO PPG6720, a waterborne internal coating for beer with low VOCs and reduced film weight; and PPG iSENSE® PPG5018, a fast-line external coating available in clear and gold.
These coatings are manufactured across PPG’s global facilities and support high-speed processing, versatile applications, and regulatory compliance for food contact materials. They are compatible with both 2-piece and 3-piece beverage can systems and protect a broad range of beverages including beer, wine, sparkling water and energy drinks.
