  • Patent number: 5563236
    Abstract: A resin composition for coating of the present invention includes a polyester containing an acid component and a polyol component, wherein the polyester is soluble or dispersible in a solvent consisting essentially of at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of cyclohexanone and isophorone; the polyester has a metal sulfonate group in an amount in the range of 0.1 to 5 mol % based on the total moles of the acid component or the polyol component and is slightly soluble in an organic solvent in the case where the content of the metal sulfonate group is 0%; and a specific gravity of the polyester at 30.degree. C. is in the range of 1.265 to 1.340.

  • Patent number: 5356989
    Abstract: An aqueous dispersion suitable for use as various coatings is provided. The dispersion includes polyester resin (A), a water soluble organic compound (B), water (C), and a neutralizer (D). The polyester resin has an acid number of 50 equivalents/10.sup.6 g or more. The polycarboxylic acid component of the resin contains aromatic dicarboxylic acid having no metal sulfonate groups in an amount in the range of 50 to 99.99 mole percent, and dicarboxylic acid having a metal sulfonate group in an amount in the range of 0.01 to 20 mole percent based on the total moles of the polycarboxylic acid component. The polyol component of the resin contains diol in an amount in the range of 30 to 100 mole percent based on the total moles of the polyol component. The diol has an alkyl group with 1 to 3 carbon atoms on a side chain, and the total number of carbon atoms in the diol is 6 to 25. The water soluble organic compound has a boiling point in the range of 60.degree. to 250.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 5288559
    Abstract: Provided is a coating composition for a two-piece can containing a polyester resin (A) consisting essentially of terephthalic acid and propylene glycol and containing tri- or more functional polycarboxylic acid or polyol comonomer(s) and an alkyl-etherified aminoformaldehyde resin (B); and the coating film (C) to be obtained by reacting these (A) and (B) in the composition has larger tensile strength and elongation than the film made of only (A). The coating composition is coated on at least one surface of a metal sheet to give a coated metal sheet for a two-piece can. The coated metal sheet may be formed into a drawn and ironed can or a drawn and re-drawn can. The adhesiveness of the coated film to the metal sheet is high, and the coated film has excellent resistance to blistering and resistance to whitening and has excellent flavor preservability.
