AQUEOUS EPOXY RESIN-BASED COATING COMPOSITIONS USEFUL FOR COATING METAL CONTAINERS

摘要

An aqueous coating composition that is particularly suited for coating metal containers used for packaging food and beverages. The coating comprises an aqueous dispersion of the reaction product of a 1,2-epoxy resin with a carboxyl functional addition polymer, an epoxy phosphate ester polymer, and an effective quantity of a curing agent which may be a phenoplast or an aminoplast resin.
