Abstract
Abstract There is provided an acidic ester of a polyepoxy resin, preferably diglycidyl ether of a bisphenol, esterified with an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. The acid ester is dispersed in alcoholic solvents and water, with a volatile base and further blended with a cross-linking agent and non-ionic surfactant to afford an aqueous dispersion useful as a heat curable coating for beverage cans, coil stock, fabricated metal, and the like.
