LATEX POLYMERS MADE USING METALLIC-BASE-NEUTRALIZED SURFACTANT AND BLUSH-RESISTANT COATING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SUCH POLYMERS

摘要

An aqueous coating composition is provided that is preferably substantially free of bisphenol A. The coating composition is preferably a latex -based coating composition that includes a latex polymer formed from ingredients including an anionic and/or zwitterionic surfactant that includes one or more acid groups neutralized with a metallic base. The coating composition is useful in coating metal substrates such as, for example, interior and/or exterior surfaces of food or beverage containers.
