Abstract: The present disclosure provides a coating composition useful as a coating on food cans, and particularly as interior white or gold food can coatings. The coating composition includes a polyester polymer preferably having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of less than 10,000, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of more than 60° C., and a hydroxyl value greater than 10 mg KOH/g resin. The polyester preferably includes one or more cyclic groups selected from a mono-cyclic group having five ring members or less, a polycyclic group, or both, preferably in a backbone of the polyester polymer.

Abstract: Acrylic coating compositions for beverage can ends, particularly easy open beverage can ends, beverage cans, and methods of coating. The beverage cans include a metal substrate that is at least partially coated with a coating prepared from the acrylic coating composition. The composition includes an acrylic latex, a crosslinker, and optionally a lubricant.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a resin having unsaturated functionality effective for self-cross linking in compositions that are at least substantially free of external cross linkers and still achieve desired performance for internal and/or external food or beverage can coating applications. Unsaturation may be provided by reactants having a carbon-carbon double bond less reactive than a carbon-carbon double bond of maleic anhydride.

Abstract: A method for making a monomer includes reacting an alkanol-substituted phenol with epihalohydrin in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst at a temperature of 50° C. or lower to produce a first intermediate product. The method further includes removing excess epihalohydrin, and after removing excess epihalohydrin, contacting the first intermediate product with a base to produce a second intermediate product, and forming an oxirane-functional vinyl monomer from the second intermediate product. The monomer includes an oxirane group, an unsaturated vinyl bond, and optionally an aromatic spacer between the two functional groups.

Abstract: A food or beverage container coating composition, coated article, and method of coating, wherein the coating composition comprises a furan-containing polyester and a liquid carrier (e.g., water and/or an organic solvent).

Abstract: A coated food or beverage contact article that has been or will be formed into a food or beverage container or container component, a method for making such containers or container components, coating compositions and polymers for use in such article or method. The coating composition comprises a polymer derived from or derivable from a polyphenol having two or more phenylene rings linked to or through an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic group or groups, wherein the polyphenol is a reaction product of a monophenol with a polyolefinic terpene. The polyphenol may be a diphenol and a reaction product of a monophenol with a diolefinic terpene. The terpene may be a cyclic terpene.
