Abstract:
The present invention provides novel packaging articles, e.g., food and beverage cans. Preferred cans typically comprise a body portion and an end portion, wherein at least one of the body and end portions are aluminum and are coated on at least one major surface with a coating composition of the present invention. Suitable coating compositions of the present invention comprise: one or more polyester resins, wherein at least one of the polyester resins has a glass transition temperature ("T g ") less than about 50°C, and wherein the polyester resin is formed by the reaction of one or more polyacid molecules and one or more polyol molecules; and a crosslinker. Preferred compositions are substantially free of mobile BPA and aromatic glycidyl ether compounds, e.g., BADGE, BFDGE and epoxy novalacs (e.g., NOGE) and more preferred compositions are also substantially free of bound BPA and aromatic glycidyl ether compounds. In more preferred embodiments (e.g., alcoholic beverage cans), the polyol molecules used to make the polyester resin are substantially free of NPG. The present invention also provides a method of making such cans.

A coating composition for a food or beverage can that includes an emulsion polymerized latex polymer formed by combining an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component with an aqueous dispersion of a salt of an acid-or anhydride-functional polymer and an amine, preferably, a tertiary amine.
Abstract:
Una composicion de recubrimiento para una lata para alimento o bebida que incluye una emulsion de polimero de latex polimerizado formada al combinar un componente monomerico etilenicamente insaturado con una dispersion acuosa de una sal o un polimero con funcionalidad acida o anhidrida y una amina, preferiblemente una amina terciaria.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of coating a food or beverage can, the method comprising: forming a composition comprising an emulsion polymerized latex polymer, comprising: forming a salt of an acid- or anhydride-functional polymer and an amine in a carrier comprising water to form an aqueous dispersion; combining an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component with the aqueous dispersion; and polymerizing the ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in the presence of the aqueous dispersion to form an emulsion polymerized latex polymer; and applying the composition comprising the emulsion polymerized latex polymer to a metal substrate prior to or after forming the metal substrate into a food or beverage can or portion thereof. The present invention also relates to a food or beverage can having a coating composition disposed thereon and to a composition for use as a coating of a food and beverage can.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to strategies by which one or more phenolic resins are provided in aqueous phenolic dispersions in a manner so that the resultant aqueous phenolic dispersions are more easily combined with water-based latex compositions. The principles of the present invention make it much easier to formulate water-based latex compositions in which substantial phenolic resin content can be stably dispersed for long periods of time. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method of making a coating composition, comprising a) providing an inverted aqueous dispersion comprising i) at least one polymer having one or more polar, hydrophilic groups; and ii) at least one phenolic resin; b) providing a latex composition; and c) blending the latex composition with the aqueous dispersion to form the coating composition.
Abstract:
A thermally responsive composition includes a dye and a developer that is free of polyhydric phenols having estrogenic agonist activity greater than or equal to that of bisphenol S. The thermally responsive composition can be used to make BPA-free thermally responsive record materials.
