Accelshield™ 300 is an internal coating for beverage cans that is free from Bisphenols and styrene. It is a long-term, reliable solution regarding materials of concern, and it delivers superior levels of corrosion protection making it a viable and safe alternative for even the most challenging liquids.

Industry approvals
 

Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), key beverage brands and compliant with current and future EU regulations, Accelshield™ 300 is part of a growing portfolio of new generation coatings for beverage cans which is helping coil coaters, can manufacturers and brands successfully navigate the future regulatory landscape – and fulfil vital environmental responsibilities.

Innovative technology

Featuring a novel acrylic resin network interwoven with a unique crosslinked polymer matrix, Accelshield™ 300 goes well beyond established technologies in the industry. This innovative combination delivers advanced corrosion protection, flexibility and sensory performance. Laboratory and brand testing also suggest an improved flavour performance compared to earlier market solutions.

Seamlessly integrating into existing production lines, Accelshield™ 300 also offers enhanced production efficiency by curing rapidly, while reducing energy costs and consumption compared to epoxy-based coatings.

Future-proofed
 

AkzoNobel has committed to a future without the use of Bisphenols to protect metal packaging and set out clear intentions to launch new products substantially free from materials of concern. 

Accelshield™ 300 far exceeds current regulations and it is the cleanest coating which also provides enhanced performance. It is giving the metal can manufacturing industry a viable and safe alternative, keeping customers ahead of the curve and ready to seize the competitive advantage.
