Abstract: Binders for coating materials that exhibit high flexibility and good hardness contain a polymer-modified resin, containing I) at least one hydroxy-functional polyester, and II) at least one polyacrylate having at least one hydroxy group or at least one carboxy group or both. The polyester I contains an alcohol component containing of from 0.5 to 80 mol % of dicidol.

Abstract: An organosol polyester coating material, comprising at least one linear and/or branched amorphous polyester in solution, at least one blocked polyisocyanate resin and/or at least one triazine resin, fine powder of less than 150 .mu.m in particle size of at least one high molecular weight crystalline copolyester in suspension, having a molar mass of from 10,000 to 50,000 g/mol and substantially non-swelling in organic solvent, and at least one organic solvent having a boiling point of more than 160.degree. C., and optionally at least one pigment or inorganic filler, at least one catalyst, and at least one devolatilizing, defoaming, or wetting additive.

Abstract: Thermosetting coating substances containing as binding agent 5 to 35 weight-percent of triazine resins, especially benzoguanamine resins, or blocked polyisocyanate resins, and 95 to 65 weight-parts of saturated polyesters of terephthalic and/or isophthalic acids and 100 to 70 mole-% of bis-(hydroxymethyl)-tricyclodecane and 0 to 30 mole-% of additional diols, especially 2,2-dimethylpropanediol-1,3, yield varnish coatings on metals, which coatings are stable under sterilization conditions against acid contents in containers, especially acid foodstuff preparations.
