The present invention provides a coating composition for cans comprising 100 parts by mass of a neutralized acrylic resin-modified epoxy resin (A), and from 1 to 50 parts by mass of anionic polymer crosslinked fine particles (B), (A) and (B) being dispersed in an aqueous medium, wherein the anionic polymer fine particles (B) are polymer fine particles comprising a polymer having an acid value of from 10 to 120 mg KOH/g and being produced by polymerizing radically polymerizable unsaturated monomers comprising from 2 to 30% by mass of a carboxyl group-containing radically polymerizable unsaturated monomer (b1), from 2 to 30% by mass of a polyvinyl compound (b2) and from 40 to 96% by mass of other radically polymerizable unsaturated monomer (b3) in the presence of water.

Coating composition for cans

A water based coating composition prepared by reacting an epoxy resin (A) having a bisphenol A skeletal structure and a carboxyl group-containing acrylic resin (B) in the presence of an amine compound to form an acrylic-modified epoxy resin (C), and neutralizing, and dispersing the acrylic-modified epoxy resin (C) into an aqueous medium, an amount of a quaternary ammonium salt in the acrylic-modified epoxy resin (C) being in the range of 3.0&times;10 mol or less per one gram of the resin.

Water based coating composition

An aqueous coating composition for exterior surface of a can, in which the resin component comprises a water-soluble or water-dispersible resin product prepared by reacting a resin having carboxyl functionality (a), an epoxy resin (b) and a tertiary amine (c), at least 50 mole % of the epoxy groups of said epoxy resin (b) being quaternary ammonium salt, provides a coating with a smooth and glossy surface, excellent processability, excellent adhesion properties, excellent retorting resistant properties and the like. Furthermore, the coating composition minimizes a generation of fume in an oven during curing.

Aqueous coating composition for exterior surface of can

An aqueous coating composition comprising a carboxyl-containing reaction product neutralized and dispersed in an aqueous medium, the reaction product being produced by the esterification reaction of a carboxyl-containing acrylic resin (A) and an epoxy resin (B), the acrylic resin (A) comprising a carboxyl-containing polymerizable unsaturated monomer (A) and another polymerizable unsaturated monomer (b) as a monomer component, the acid value of the acrylic resin (A) at a higher molecular weight region with respect to its weight average molecular weight being higher by at least 80 mg KOH/g than at a lower molecular weight region, and a process for preparing said aqueous coating composition. The coating composition is capable of forming a coating film excellent in fabrication property, corrosion resistance, water resistance, flavor-retaining ability, among others. As a consequence, even a thin film of the composition is uniform in thickness and is outstanding in resistance to cratering and sagging.
