Abstract
Abstract A powder coating composition of a mixture of epoxy resins is obtained by blending two types of epoxy resins with a curing agent. One resin is of the epichlorohydrin-bisphenol-A type. The other resin is an epichlorohydrin-bisphenol-A epoxy modified with an epoxy-novolac. Cure is obtained by using a dicyandiamide crosslinking agent. The composition is useful as a coating for the interior of food and beverage containers. The composition is also useful as a lining in hot-water services when finely divided polyvinylidine fluoride powder is added for hydrophobicity.
