GCP Sealants Are on 2/3 of All Cans Worldwide
GCP Applied Technologies produces and supplies DAREX® can sealants to customers all over the globe. DAREX® sealants ensure safety and quality in over 300 billion food and drink cans each year.
In 1921, GCP developed “flowed-in” gasket technology, revolutionising modern can production. More than 90 years and trillions of cans later, DAREX® sealants are still the foundation of the industry.
Broadest portfolio in the industry
Specially formulated DAREX® sealants have evolved in parallel with the industry, adapting to the ever-changing requirements.
This intimate, customer-focused customisation allows GCP to offer the world's broadest and most technologically advanced portfolio of can sealants. The comprehensive DAREX® product portfolio includes products for beer and beverages, food, aerosol, composite, general line and speciality applications.
DAREX® is the only brand that offers both solvent based and water based can sealants. As the only global supplier of both technologies, DAREX® is attuned to the advantages and disadvantages of high solids, low VOC, HAP compliant solvent technology, compared to high solids water based technology.
With extensive experience applying both solvent-based and water-based can sealants at can makers around the world, GCP helps customers make the best choice for their operations.
