The Soy-PK reactive oligomer cross-linker resin (Soy-PK) offers a practical, cost-effective drop-in replacement for epoxy resins containing bisphenol-A (BPA). Such resins are widely used in coatings, especially in metal beverage and food container coatings that present serious mutagenicity and health concerns. The new technology offers a viable option to displace fossil-based BPA-containing epoxy resins with a renewable source raw material, improving the industry’s environmental footprint.
