BPA Coatings: Out in Front
As one of the industry leaders in metal decorating, J. L. Clark has been and will continue to monitor all the information available regarding the use of BPA coatings. This includes working with the suppliers of coatings to the metal decorating industry to lower or eliminate BPA content in coatings.

Very soon we will be running trials of BPA reduced or free coatings for dry pack applications. Your Sales representative will contact you when samples are ready for your "fit for use" testing.

Further information about BPA can be found at the North American Metal Packaging Alliance website: www.metal-pack.org.
