    Inventors: Huy Lai, Kris M. Kazik, Keri Veres
  • Flexible container coating compositions
    Patent number: 11702562
    Abstract: A coating composition includes: (a) 60 to 90 percent by weight of an active hydrogen-containing polyester having a number average molecular weight of at least 23,000, an acid value below 5 and a hydroxyl value below 10, (b) 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of a polyanhydride, and (c) 5 to 30 percent by weight of a curing agent reactive with the active hydrogens associated with (a) and (b), the percentages being based on weight of resin solids of the coating composition, where the reaction product of the coating composition forms a single coating without including a thermoplastic polymer. The coating composition is useful in coating food and beverage containers, particularly 2-piece cans formed by drawing and redrawing (DRD).

  • Flexible Container Coating Compositions
    Publication number: 20200040217
    Abstract: A coating composition comprising (i) a reaction product of two different polyesters, a trimellitic polyanhydride, and a curing agent, for example, an aminoplast; and (ii) an epoxidized polybutadiene polymer. The compositions are useful in coating food and beverage containers, particularly 2-piece cans formed by drawing and redrawing (DRD).
