  • Can coating of epoxy resin, acrylic copolymer and acrylic surfactant
    Patent number: 5201436
    Abstract: A protective coating composition exhibiting low VOC particularly useful for the interior surfaces of beverage and beer cans, where the polymeric binder comprises epoxy-acrylic copolymer and coating contains very low levels of a terpolymer surfactant comprising copolymerized monomers consisting of 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and an acrylic acid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 12, 1992
    Date of Patent: April 13, 1993
    Assignee: The Glidden Company
    Inventors: Phillip M. Owens, Gary C. Pompignano
  • Acrylic terpolymer surfactant for aqueous dispersed epoxy/acrylic binders
    Patent number: 5196481
    Abstract: A protective coating composition exhibiting low VOC particularly useful for the interior surfaces of beverage and beer cans, where the polymeric binder comprises epoxy-acrylic copolymer and coating contains very low levels of a terpolymer surfactant comprising copolymerized monomers consisting of 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and an acrylic acid.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 23, 1993
    Assignee: Glidden Company
    Inventors: Phillip M. Owens, Gary C. Pompignano
  • Stabilized aqueous coatings containing zinc oxide
    Patent number: 4703071
    Abstract: Single package C-enamel can coatings of improved stability are prepared by first dispersing the zinc oxide pigment in a water compatible solvent containing a butylated urea formaldehyde or butylated melamine and adding the dispersed pigment to a vehicle comprising an aqueous blend of an epoxy-acrylic emulsion with an acrylic latex. The stability improvement is evident in the coating viscosity, the non-settling of the pigment on storage, and the flexibility adhesion in the applied coating.

  • Adhesion promoters for sanitary can coatings
    Patent number: 4576695
    Abstract: Certain alkaline earth metal salts of organic acids and diacids optionally having hydroxyl group functionality, as for example calcium and magnesium citrate, calcium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, provide improved adhesion of organic coatings electrodeposited on metal substrate. The new sanitary coatings are particularly useful for untreated aluminum and aluminum alloy cans used in the packaging of various food products including acidic foods like tomatoes, corn, and green beans which require in-can-sterilization.
    Type: Grant

  • Adhesion promoters for sanitary can coatings
    Patent number: 4476263
    Abstract: Certain alkali metal salts of organic diacids having one or more hydroxyl functional groups, as for example sodium and potassium citrate, provide improved adhesion of organic coatings electrodeposited on metal substrate. The new sanitary coatings are particularly useful for untreated aluminum and aluminum alloy cans used in the packaging of various food products including acidic foods like tomatoes, corn, and green beans which require in-can-sterilization.
