  • Publication number: 20240132747
    Abstract: A coated substrate comprising a coating extending over at least a part of the substrate. The coating is obtainable from a coating composition comprising (a) a polymeric binder; and (b) a feathering reducing agent comprising a carboxylic acid reactive functional group. The coated portion of the substrate comprises a pretreatment layer. The pretreatment layer is obtainable from a pretreatment composition that comprises a trivalent chromium compound. The invention extends to a method of coating a pre-treated substrate and a coated package, such as a metal can.
