| abstract |
Hybrid water dispersions are disclosed which can be used in the formation of coating compositions having good blush resistance, abrasion resistance, blister resistance, hardness and scratch resistance. In some embodiments, the coating compositions are used to coat substrates such as cans and packaging materials for the storage of food and beverages. Hybrid water dispersion of the invention may be prepared by mixing a (poly) ethylene (meth) acrylic acid copolymer in water to form a mixture, and reacting the mixture with an organosilane compound. |
