  • Polymer having polycyclic groups and coating compositions thereof
    Patent number: 8367171
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 5, 2013

  • High solids coating compositions
    Patent number: 4596843
    Abstract: A high solids coating composition which comprises 10-96 percent by weight resin solids of a low molecular weight epoxy oligomer, 2-35 percent by weight crosslinking glycoluril-formaldehyde resin and a primary sulfonic acid catalyst. The oligomer is condensed upon heating into a high molecular weight polymer film with simultaneous crosslinking with the crosslinking agent to provide the desired film properties.
