A coating composition comprising a resinous binder and up to 10 percent by weight of the reaction product of (i) a phosphorus acid, and (ii) a polyglycidyl ether of cyclohexane dimethanol. The compositions are useful for coating containers of all sorts, such as food and beverage containers, and the reaction product provides enhanced adhesion of the coating to the substrate. The compositions can be formulated to be substantially free of bisphenol A (BPA) and derivatives thereof such as bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE).

Coating compositions with improved adhesion to containers

The present invention is directed to coatings that provide improved retort and tropical decay resistance for use on metal food containers. The coatings generally comprise a carbamated polyol formed by the reaction between a polyol, an alkylene oxide and an alkyl carbamate. A crosslinker reactive with the carbamate functionality is used to react with the carbamate moiety. Methods for improving retort resistance and resistance to tropical decay are also disclosed, as are substrates coated with the present compositions.
