An aqueous adhesive composition includes: a phenol/aldehyde resin; and an unsaturated elastomer latex. The phenol/aldehyde resin is based on at least: an aromatic polyaldehyde bearing at least two aldehyde functional groups and including at least one aromatic nucleus; and phloroglucinol. The adhesive composition is useable to make a textile material adhere to a crosslinkable rubber composition, and may be used as an advantageous alternative to a formaldehyde-based RFL adhesive.

Disclosed are Bisphenol A (BPA), Bisphenol F, Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), and Bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE)-free coating compositions for metal substrates including an under-coat composition containing a polyester (co)polymer, and an under-coat cross-linker; and an over-coat composition containing a poly(vinyl chloride) (co)polymer dispersed in a substantially nonaqueous carrier liquid, an over-coat cross-linker, and a functional (meth)acrylic (co)polymer. Also provided is a method of coating a metal substrate using the BPA, BPF, BADGE and BFDGE-free coating system to produce a hardened protective coating useful in fabricating metal storage containers. The coated substrate is particularly useful in fabricating multi-part foodstuffs storage containers with easy-open end closures.
