What Is aTULC? The Future of Beverage Cans Is Here.
Think all aluminum cans are the same? Think again.
At VulCan, we use aTULC™ technology — and it’s changing how beverage cans are made. aTULC™ stands for Aluminum Toyo Ultimate Can and its dry-forming process represents a fundamentally smarter approach to producing your can and protecting your beverage.

The Simple Difference That Changes Everything
Traditional cans are made by spraying a liquid liner inside after the can is formed. This process requires heat, solvents, and often results in inconsistent coverage.
aTULC™ works differently. We start with aluminum coil that already has a protective PET-based film bonded to it before the can is even shaped. No spraying. No solvents. No guesswork.
Why This Matters for Your Beverage
Better Protection
The PET film liner doesn't react with acidic drinks, alcohol, or complex formulations. Your kombucha, hard seltzer, or energy drink tastes exactly as you intended – every single time.
Consistent Quality
Because the liner is applied before can formation, you get uniform protection across every square inch of your can's interior.
Cleaner + Enhanced Sustainability
Zero solvents in production
Waterless, dry-forming process eliminates solid waste
BPA-free and completely inert liner
Who Benefits Most?
aTULC™ cans are game-changers for:
Acidic beverages (kombucha, citrus drinks, coffee)
Alcoholic drinks (hard seltzers, cocktails, wine)
Complex formulations (electrolyte drinks, functional beverages)
Beverage brands that can't afford flavor compromises
If you've ever experienced flavor changes, shortened shelf life, or quality issues with traditional cans, aTULC™ solves those problems.
The Bottom Line
At VulCan, we've brought commercial-scale aTULC™ production to North America. That means you can access this advanced, proprietary technology today and be ahead of the curve!
