    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved coating composition for food containers that is resistant to high pH processing environments. The improved coating composition is based upon an epoxy-amino resin coating composition that has been modified with other components to improve its performance in high pH environments balanced with flexibility, formability and abrasion resistance. Typically, the coating composition includes an epoxy resin, an amino resin cross-linking agent, a blocked polyisocyanate and a saturated polyester.
