A coating composition comprising a resinous binder and up to 10 percent by weight of the reaction product of (i) a phosphorus acid, and (ii) a polyglycidyl ether of cyclohexane dimethanol. The compositions are useful for coating containers of all sorts, such as food and beverage containers, and the reaction product provides enhanced adhesion of the coating to the substrate. The compositions can be formulated to be substantially free of bisphenol A (BPA) and derivatives thereof such as bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE).

The instant disclosure relates to phosphorus-containing compounds that can be used to form flame retardant phosphorus-containing resins, and also can serve as a hardener for a flame retardant epoxy resin compositions. In particular, the phosphorus-containing compounds are modified with acyloxy groups (O(CO)R), as shown below. Incorporation of the acyloxy groups results in resins that are water resistant and exhibit improved dielectric properties. ##STR00001##

A coating composition comprising a polyether polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of 3 to 8 and the reaction product of: (i) a phosphorus acid, and (ii) a polyepoxide and/or a polyester.
The compositions are useful for coating containers of all sorts, such as food and beverage containers. The compositions can be formulated to be substantially free of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and other derivatives of BPA.
