A bio-renewable flame-retardant compound, a process for forming a bio-renewable flame-retardant compound, and an article of manufacture comprising a bio-renewable flame-retardant compound are disclosed. The bio-renewable flame-retardant compound includes a cyclic structure formed in a reaction with a bio-renewable diene. The process for forming a bio-renewable flame-retardant compound includes the selection and reaction of a bio-renewable diene, a dienophile, and optionally a phosphorus compound to form a cyclic compound, reacting the cyclic compound with a phosphorus compound to form a cyclic flame-retardant compound, and forming a bio-renewable flame-retardant polymer that includes the bio-renewable flame-retardant compound. The article of manufacture includes a material containing the bio-renewable flame-retardant compound.

A sealable anti-corrosion coating for packaging films for packaging aggressive products such as perfumed cream, oil, fat emulsion, acidic or alkaline detergents, alcoholic products, especially aluminum-based plates with which cups or containers filled with such goods are sealed. The coating includes: a) one or more solvents, b) one or more reactive binding agents, e) one or more sealing components and f) one or more acid catalysts.

The resulting aluminum foil is suitable for packaging aggressive goods, achieving both corrosion protection and high seal strength.
