IN-CAN

What Is In-Can Protection?

Any paint that is being stored inside a container is considered In-Can. To guarantee the performance and durability of paints and coatings, they need to be protected against antimicrobial activity, such as yeasts, bacteria and fungi. Microbes can contaminate products at any time during production, transport and use, allowing organisms to reproduce from that point onwards. As paints provide ideal conditions for microbes to grow, effective solutions must actively protect the paint from within rather than superficially treating contamination.

Why Protect Paint In-Can?

Microbial contamination in paint formulations causes not only unpleasant odours but also frequently compromises the technical performance and shelf life of the paint itself. As a result, product failure can have serious implications for the financial success and reputation of the paint manufacturer.

We create optimal solutions for your paints. As the causes of microbial growth are manifold and precise analysis is required to identify the nature and extent of any contamination, we perform all necessary testing and formulate solutions that work optimally for your products.

Effective in-can preservation that meets all requirements

In-can preservation ensures the durability of paints and aqueous mixtures. It protects against microbes such as bacteria, yeast, and fungi, which can contaminate the formulation during production, storage, transportation, and use. At the same time, it must meet the requirements of users and regulators.

In-can preservation – curse or blessing?

Explore the insights in our blog post and webinar titled “In-can preservation using biocides: curse or blessing?” to understand why biocides are essential in paint production, even though they make up a small proportion of the paint formula. They play a crucial role in safeguarding paints from bacteria and fungi while in containers. We delve into the challenges that paint manufacturers encounter in terms of in-can preservation and provide solutions they can implement to overcome these hurdles.
