Can Coatings

BYK Can Coatings

BYK Can Coatings is an additive category for can coating systems that require high surface quality, scratch and abrasion resistance, excellent leveling, and strong adhesion to the substrate. In can coating applications, additives play an important role in helping produce smooth, stable, bubble-free coating films that meet the performance requirements of various metal packaging applications.

BYK additives for Can Coatings can be used in solvent-borne, aqueous, and radiation-cured coating systems. These solutions help coating formulations address challenges such as foam, air entrapment, poor leveling, pigment stabilization, substrate wetting, adhesion on substrate, anti-blocking, COF reduction, matting, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance, and consistent surface properties.

BYK Can Coatings also include various additive groups such as wetting and dispersing additives, surface additives, rheology additives, defoamers and air release additives, adhesion promoters, coupling agents, and wax additives. Selected BYK additives are also suitable for food contact applications according to certain regulations, making them relevant for can coating formulations used in packaging and metal container applications.
