Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung: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 a tertiary amine in a carrier comprising water to form an aqueous dispersion; combining an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component comprising 0.1 wt-% to 30 wt-% of an oxirane-functional alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated monomer with the aqueous dispersion, based on the weight of the monomer component; 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 composition for use in coating a food and beverage can and to a coated food or beverage can or portion thereof.
