Coatings

Coatings in food and beverage chemicals are thin layers applied to packaging materials (like cans, bottles, or films) to protect contents from contamination, corrosion, or chemical reactions. These coatings enhance shelf life, maintain flavor, and prevent metal leaching. Common types include epoxy, acrylic, and polyester coatings, which must comply with food safety regulations (e.g., FDA, EU standards) to ensure they are non-toxic and inert. They also improve durability and provide barriers against moisture, oxygen, and microbes
