A polyester polymer is polymerized from an alcohol component including a diol and a polyol and an acid component including terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid, with the terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid present in a desired molar ratio. The polyester polymer also includes carboxylic acid functional groups, a weight average molecular weight (MW) of at least 5000 Daltons (Da), and an acid value (AV) of 40 to 65. The polyester polymer may be formulated into a water-based coating composition for substrates such as articles of cookware to form a coating that is highly heat resistant and flexible while also providing non-stick properties with good release.

Laminated light-blocking decorative articles are prepared by applying an aqueous foamed opacifying composition to a non-woven fabric, drying, laminating a decorative fabric to the resulting dry foamed opacifying layer, and densifying that layer to have a thickness that is at least 20% less than before densifying. This operation can be carried out so that non-woven fabric, decorative fabric, and aqueous foamed opacifying composition are supplied in a single-pass, in-line operation to make any desired quantity of a laminated light-blocking decorative article. The applied aqueous foamed opacifying composition has 35%-70% solids and a foam density of 0.1-0.5 g/cm.sup.3. It is composed of (a) porous particles, (b) a binder material, (c) two or more additives comprising at least one foaming surfactant and at least one foam stabilizer, (d) an aqueous medium, and (e) at least 0.0001 weight % of an opacifying colorant that absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 380-800 nm.
