The present disclosure provides a coating composition useful as a coating on food cans, and particularly as interior white or gold food can coatings. The coating composition includes a polyester polymer preferably having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of less than 10,000, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of more than 60° C., and a hydroxyl value greater than 10 mg KOH/g resin. The polyester preferably includes one or more cyclic groups selected from a mono-cyclic group having five ring members or less, a polycyclic group, or both, preferably in a backbone of the polyester polymer.

Coating compositions including a polyester, articles, and methods of coating

A method of forming a coating on a food or beverage container, which includes spraying a coating composition onto an interior surface of the food or beverage container, where the coating composition includes a latex copolymer and a metal drier or crosslinking agent. The latex copolymer is a reaction product of monomers that include (a) one or more styrene-mimicking monomers containing one or more cyclic groups and one or more ethylenically-unsaturated groups, at least a portion of such styrene-mimicking monomers being polycyclic monomers containing ring unsaturation, and (b) one or more other ethylenically-unsaturated monomers. Preferably, the coating composition is substantially free of each of BPA, PVC, other halogenated monomers, and optionally styrene. The method may also include curing the sprayed coating composition, thereby providing the coating on the interior surface of the food or beverage container.

Crosslinked coating compositions for packaging articles such as food and beverage containers

A coating composition is provided that is useful in coating metal substrates such as interior and/or exterior surfaces of food or beverage cans. In preferred embodiments, the coating composition is formulated using a physical blend of a preformed_resin system and an alkali-soluble resin additive.

Alkali-soluble resin additives and coating compositions including such additives

A method of forming a coating on a food or beverage container, which includes spraying a coating composition onto an interior surface of the food or beverage container, where the coating composition includes an emulsion-polymerized latex copolymer having copolymer chains of one or more mono-unsaturated monomers that are cross-linked with one or more multi-unsaturated monomers. The method also includes heating the sprayed coating composition to cure the coating composition, thereby providing the coating on the interior surface of the food or beverage container.

Coating compositions for packaging articles such as food and beverage containers

An aqueous coating composition is provided that is preferably substantially free of styrene and structural units derived from styrene. The coating composition includes a resin system that preferably includes a water-dispersible polymer and an emulsion polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomer component. The resin system is preferably formed using a process that includes emulsion polymerizing the ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in the presence of an aqueous dispersion including the water-dispersible polymer. In certain preferred embodiments, the water-dispersible polymer is a salt of an acid- or anhydride-functional aromatic polyether polymer.

Styrene-free copolymers and coating compositions containing such copolymers

A coating composition is provided that includes (a) a polyester polymer derived by esterifying an aryloxy ether polyol (e.g., an aryloxy ether diol) derived from reaction between a polyhydric phenol or a polyphenol and a non-hydroxyl functional cyclic carbonate, or from reaction between a monophenol and a hydroxyl functional cyclic carbonate; (b) a crosslinker and (c) an optional catalyst.

Polyester coating compositions containing polymers derived from cyclic carbonates

Water-dispersible or water-dispersed polymers are made by reacting (i) an unsaturated monomer containing one or more cyclic carbonate groups, or (ii) an unsaturated or saturated oligomer or polymer containing a plurality of cyclic carbonate groups, with a tertiary amine in the presence of an acid, or with an acid in the presence of a tertiary amine, or in the presence of an acid and a tertiary amine, to provide a water-dispersible or water-dispersed monomer, oligomer or polymer. When step a) provides a monomer or oligomer, the monomer or oligomer is reacted with one or more monomers in the presence of an initiator to provide a water-dispersible or water-dispersed polymer. When step a) provides a polymer, the polymer is optionally used to support emulsion polymerization of one or more unsaturated monomers in the presence of an initiator to provide a water-dispersible or water-dispersed further polymer.

Method for making water-dispersible and water-dispersed polymers

Polycyclocarbonate compounds and upgraded molecular weight polymers made from such compounds are provided. The polymers have particular utility in coating compositions, especially for use on food and beverage contact substrates that are formed into or will be formed into containers or container components.

Polycyclocarbonate compounds and polymers and compositions formed therefrom

The present disclosure provides a coating composition useful as a coating on food cans, and particularly as interior white or gold food can coatings. The coating composition includes a polyester polymer preferably having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of less than 10,000, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of more than 60&#xb0; C., and a hydroxyl value greater than 10 mg KOH/g resin. The polyester preferably includes one or more cyclic groups selected from a mono-cyclic group having five ring members or less, a polycyclic group, or both, preferably in a backbone of the polyester polymer.

Polycyclocarbonate compounds and polymers formed therefrom

A method of forming a coating on a food or beverage container, which includes spraying a coating composition onto an interior surface of the food or beverage container, where the coating composition includes an emulsion-polymerized latex copolymer having copolymer chains of one or more ethylenically-unsaturated monomers and one or more styrene offset monomers. Preferably, the coating composition is substantially free of BPA, PVC, and styrene. The method may also include curing the sprayed coating composition, thereby providing the coating on the interior surface of the food or beverage container.

Styrene-free coating compositions for packaging articles such as food and beverage containers

A coating composition is provided that is useful in coating metal substrates such as interior and/or exterior surfaces of food or beverage cans. In preferred embodiments, the coating composition is formulated using a physical blend of a preformed resin system and an alkali-soluble resin additive.
