PPG today announced the expansion of its non-bisphenol A (BPA) HOBA® internal coatings line with the launch of PPG Hoba Pro 2848 coating. This solution meets the growing demand to package water, wine and other drinks in aluminum bottles. The product is being highlighted at Paris Packaging Week 2025, where it is a finalist in the event’s Aerosol and Dispensing Forum (ADF) Innovation Awards.

“For 50 years, PPG Hoba coatings have delivered high-performance, non-BPA solutions for aluminum 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 aluminum bottles are emerging as a preferred sustainable packaging choice for water, wine, beer and other drinks.”
