PPG has announced the expansion of its non-bisphenol A (BPA) HOBA internal coatings line with its PPG Hoba Pro 2848 coating, aiming to meet growing demand to package water, wine and other drinks in aluminium bottles.
Designed for monobloc aerosols, collapsible tubes, and aluminium bottles, PPG Hoba coatings are said to provide enhanced internal protection. PPG Hoba Pro 2848 is a non-bisphenol, PFAS-NI and non-phenolic internal liner seeking to offer a reliable, robust and versatile solution for personal care, beverage, pharmaceutical and food products.
PPG Hoba coatings are manufactured worldwide and supported by in-country technical service and supply chain teams. PPG also has a portfolio of internal and external coatings for other food and beverage products under the PPG Nutrishield and PPG Innovel brands.
PPG is currently showcasing its PPG Hoba coatings at Paris Packaging Week 2025, at stand Y30 in the ADF section.
“For 50 years, PPG Hoba coatings have delivered high-performance, non-BPA solutions for aluminium aerosol cans and tubes used in personal care products such as deodorants, haircare, shaving creams and cleansers,” said Hella Gourven, PPG global personal care coatings segment manager, Packaging Coatings. “With this expansion, PPG brings its proven expertise to the growing market where aluminium bottles are emerging as a preferred sustainable packaging choice for water, wine, beer and other drinks.”
In related news, last November Billerud launched a virgin fibre, surface-treated paper for non-sterile synthetic cold seal coatings in medical applications, including plaster packaging and wrapping for single-use gloves. The company offers SteriKraft microbial barrier paper for medical applications and strong, high-purity MediKraft for non-microbial barrier properties.
The same month, Elisabeth Skoda spoke to Siegwerk’s Gilles Le Moigne on the growing demand for sustainable packaging, and how coatings can help with fulfilling this demand. Le Moigne discussed how the company innovates and tackles challenges particularly around paper and plastic packaging in the area of food packaging.
