PPG has launched of PPG NUTRISHIELD MAX PPG7590 solution, a white interior coating designed for aluminum draw-redraw (DRD) cans and easy-open ends containing wet pet food. It is the first polyvinyl chloride non-intent (PVC-NI), one-component coil coating in the U.S.

The single-component solution eliminates the need for mixing, changeovers or multiple coating systems, helping streamline operations and reduce downtime for coil coaters. Its ready-to-use formulation lowers production complexity and material waste, while maintaining a crisp, white interior for both can bodies and can ends. This high-performance coating protects product integrity and meets brand quality expectations.
