Abstract: A composition for coating food cans is disclosed. The composition comprises a polyester, an acrylic copolymer and a crosslinker; the polyester and acrylic copolymer have been compatibilized in some way, such as through graft copolymerization. Methods for compatibilizing acrylics and polyesters are also disclosed as are methods for coating cans using compositions comprising acrylic and polyesters.

Abstract: Radiation curable ink compositions that include a curable component having a functionality that is greater than two, is present in the ink composition in an amount greater than 30 percent by weight, and has a molecular weight in the range of about 400 g/mole to about 10,000 g/mole; a component that has a functionality that is less than or equal to 2; and an initiator component. A solvent component, pigment, a surface tension modifier and other materials also can be included. The radiation curable inks are employed in ink jet printers and are particularly suited for use in printing on large-scale substrates. The printed images described herein have good adhesion to polymeric substrates such as styrene-based, polycarbonates, polyolefins, polyethylene terephthalate glycol ester, acrylic and others.
