Water-borne reaction products of (a) carboxyl-functional polymers; (b) polyepoxides; and (c) tertiary amines are blended with (d) carboxyl-functional polymers having an acid number dissimilar to that of (a). The resulting products are useful as film-forming components of coating compositions which can be spray-, flow-, dip-, roller-, or electro-coated and are especially useful for spray coating the inside of two-piece tin-plated steel cans of beverages and food. The coating compositions are useful as such or can be crosslinked with crosslinking agents such as a nitrogen resin.

Water-borne coating composition made from epoxy resin, first polymeric

Water-borne reaction products of (a) carboxylfunctional polymers; (b) modified polyepoxides; and (c) tertiary amines are useful as film-forming components of coating compositions which can be spray-, flow-, dip-, roller-, or electro-coated. The coating compositions are useful as such or can be crosslinked with crosslinking agents such as a nitrogen resin and, when coated on metal and paper substrates, they provide coatings of improved properties, including a high degree of flexibility during machining and stamping of the coated articles, corrosion resistance, gloss, hydrolytic stability, and nonadulterating of foods and beverages in contact therewith.
