  • AQUEOUS COATING COMPOSITIONS FOR BARRIER COATINGS, COATED PACKAGING MATERIAL, AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20190276679
    Abstract: An aqueous coating composition and a coated packaging material prepared by applying the aqueous coating composition to packaging material comprise poly(vinyl alcohol-vinyl primary amine), poly(methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride), and a Ca++ microgranulated bentonite clay. The poly(vinyl alcohol-vinyl primary amine) is about 90-98.5 weight percent and the combined weight of poly(methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride) and the Ca++ microgranulated bentonite clay is from about 1.5-10 weight percent of the coating formed on the packaging material. The weight ratio of the poly(methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride) to the Ca++ microgranulated bentonite clay is from about 20:80 to about 80:20. The poly(methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride) is at least 0.8 weight percent of the coating formed on the packaging material and/or has a weight average molecular weight of at least about 1,000,000 Daltons. The applied coating composition is dried at a temperature of up to about 50° C. to form the coated packaging material.
