Abstract: The present invention provides a coating composition for application to metal packaging, containing: at least one crosslinkable base resin; a 1,3,5-triazine carbamate crosslinker; and a water-based carrier system. In preferred embodiments the crosslinker has the general formula wherein R is NHCOOR3, and wherein R1, R2 and R3 are independently alkyls having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. The present invention also provides containers coated with the above coatings, and methods of making the coated containers.

Abstract: The present invention provides aqueous dispersions that comprise the reaction product of (A) a polyester that is a reaction product of at least a (i) polybasic acid containing at least two carboxyl groups and (ii) a polyhydric alcohol containing at least two hydroxyl groups and (B) at least (i) a (meth)acrylic acid ester, and (ii) an ethylenically unsaturated mono- or multi-functional acid. Also described are coating compositions containing the aqueous dispersion, methods of forming the aqueous dispersion, and metal containers bearing internal liners derived from the coating compositions with beverages or wet foodstuffs located in the metal containers and in contact with the internal liners.
