Abstract: The present disclosure relates to food or beverage container coating compositions, articles having a coating formed from such compositions, and methods of coating using the compositions to achieve performance in multiple properties at the same time when using select blocked polyisocyanate crosslinkers combined with select hydroxyl-functional polyester polymers. The selected combinations of the blocked polyisocyanate and hydroxyl-functional polyester polymers provide the robust ability to use a wider variety of hydroxyl-functional polyester polymers in terms of peak molecular weight and glass transition temperature to achieve acceptable and/or enhanced performance in terms of plate aging, flow lines, and acid retort performance, while the freedom to use a broader range of concentrations of isocyanate is maintained.
