  • Polymer having polycyclic groups and coating compositions thereof
    Patent number: 9187212
    Abstract: A polymer and coating composition containing the polymer are provided that are useful in coating applications such as, for example, food or beverage packaging containers. The polymer preferably includes a backbone having one or more polycyclic groups. In one embodiment, the polymer is a polyester and, more preferably, a polyester-urethane polymer. In one embodiment, the one or more polycyclic groups is a tricyclic or higher group.

  • Self-crosslinking resin and coating compositions made therefrom
    Patent number: 6376081
    Abstract: The invention provides a resin composition that is the reaction product of an epoxy resin and an anhydride. The resin composition has an epoxy equivalent weight that is substantially the same as the epoxy equivalent weight of the epoxy resin. The resin composition may be used as a coating composition, or may be mixed with water to form a water based coating composition.
