A liquid epoxy resin composition is provided. In preferred embodiments, the liquid epoxy resin composition is free of bisphenol A, bisphenol F, and bisphenol S, including epoxides thereof, and is useful in preparing a polyether polymer having utility in coating compositions, including, e.g., coating compositions for use on food or beverage containers.

The present invention relates to novel (per)fluoropolyether (PFPE) polymers, to a process for their manufacture and to their use as additives in coating compositions. Specifically, the invention relates to a (per)fluoropolyether polymer [polymer (PP)] comprising a (per)fluoropolyoxyalkylene chain [chain (Rpf)] having two chain ends bonded to opposite sides of said chain (Rpf), wherein: * one of said chain ends comprises at least one, preferably from 1 to 3, group (group [I]) selected from: alkoxysilane [group (Si)] or cross-linkable group, preferably selected from unsaturated moiety [group (U)] and epoxide [group (E)]; and * the other chain end comprises at least one, preferably from 1 to 3, group (group [II]) selected from: optionally substituted piperidine, optionally substituted pyridine or optionally substituted pyrrole.
