A process for forming a flame retardant polymer, as well as the flame retardant polymer, are disclosed. A flame retardant polymer is a polymer that can be resistant to thermal degradation and/or thermal oxidation. A flame retardant polymer can be mixed or otherwise incorporated into a standard polymer to give flame retardancy to the standard polymer. The flame retardant polymers can include polycaprolactone functionalized with flame retardant substituents. The flame retardant substituents can include halides, substituted phosphoryl, and substituted phosphonyl.

A coating composition comprising a polyester resin binder and a phosphatized polyester. The compositions are useful for coating containers such as food and beverage containers. The compositions have excellent hydrolytic stability upon storage at high temperature. The compositions are formulated to be substantially free of bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE).

A process for producing a flame-retardant polyester includes step (a) and step (b). In step (a), a combination of a bis-hydroxy alkyl terephthalate monomer and an organic diacid monomer mixture which includes an aromatic dicarboxylic acid monomer and a carboxy-phosphinic acid monomer is subjected to an esterification reaction to form an esterification reaction product. In step (b), the esterification reaction product is subjected to a polycondensation reaction.

A process of forming a flame retardant polycaprolactone includes utilizing a caprolactone molecule to form a hydroxyl-functionalized caprolactone molecule. The process also includes chemically reacting the hydroxyl-functionalized caprolactone molecule with a phosphorus-containing flame retardant molecule to form a flame retardant-functionalized caprolactone monomer. The process further includes polymerizing a mixture that includes at least the flame retardant-functionalized caprolactone monomer to form a flame retardant polycaprolactone.
