Securshield™ 

Giving can makers and brands trusted solutions to move beyond regulatory requirements. 

Range Overview

Securshield™ is our range of BPA non-intent (BPAni) internal coatings for a wide range of steel and aluminum cans and closures. These coatings are designed to minimize or eliminate the use of materials of concern such as bisphenols, PFAS and PVC, maintaining the high standards of our industry leading Vitalure™ coatings, and are adopted by the world’s largest can makers and brands.

Securshield™ seamlessly integrates into even the most demanding existing can manufacturing processes and is suitable for a wide range of metal packaging types, enabling producers to cover all their needs with a single supplier.

We’ve already committed to a future without the use of bisphenols to protect metal packaging. The new product range was developed in response to changing legislation and the European food packaging industry’s eagerness to transition to more sustainable alternatives. It is the perfect example of how we’re working with our customers to develop meaningful solutions for real-life challenges.

Product Details

Securshield™ 500 Series

The Securshield™ 500 Series is an enhanced, PVC-free internal coating system for easy open ends. It is suitable for most food types due to its improved chemical resistance to corrosion caused by salty or acidic preserved foods such as vegetables, fish, or fruit. It has already been adopted by the world’s largest can makers and major brands.

Exceeds regulatory requirements

It protects coaters and can manufacturers from the ever-changing regulatory landscape for food packaging. Being free from materials of concern (BPXni, PFASni and PVC-free), this sustainable internal coating range is designed for easy open food can ends to meet current and future regulatory standards, with excellent performance similar to current organosol-based products.


Enhanced performance

Securshield™ 500 Series is a sustainable and safe alternative which delivers the same high performance that our Vitalure™ solutions are known for, allowing for a smooth conversion even on demanding lines.


Seamless integration

It can be seamlessly swapped into existing manufacturing processes. And with broad suitability for a wide range of metal food packs, it gives can makers a single technology to produce premium, easy open-end products in a wide variety of metal packaging types.


Complexity reduction

We allow can makers to reduce their operational complexity and improve their service level significantly by reducing the number of coatings required to produce both PVC-free and organosol easy open ends, as our PVC-free sizecoats can be used for both.
