- Coatings and print media applications consisting of functional additives that: provide matting effectsand corrosion protection for industrial coatings; enable enhanced media and paper quality in ink jet coatings; and act as a functional filler and retention aid in paper.
- Sealants and coatings used in rigid food and beverage packaging, including can and closure sealants used to seal and enhance the shelf life of can and bottle contents, and coatings for cans and closures that prevent metal corrosion, protect package contents from the influence of metal and ensure proper adhesion of sealing compounds and technologies designed to reduce off-taste effects and extend the shelf-life of packaged products.
Grace can sealants are used in more than 340 billion cans annually. Available both solvent- and water-based, they are formulated to meet the rigorous, high-speed requirements of modern food and beverage packaging processes.
Grace closure sealants provide solutions for every kind of plastic and metal closure, engineered to provide consistent and superior performance without any
impact on pack organoleptics. Today, our most exciting developments are in active packaging, like the innovative oxygen-scavenging technology that prolongs food and beverage life without the use of preservatives.
We are dedicated to providing the food and beverage industry with the best total solution. That means not just making great sealants or coatings, but offering a full line of application equipment and assuring peak performance in our customers’ plants. |
