Definitions
- Metal containers for beverages such as beer and soft drinks, are usually made from aluminum or tinplate. Because such beverages exert corrosive action upon the metal a sanitary liner is ordinarily applied to the internal surface of the container in order to protect the container and to prevent contamination of the beverage during storage.
- the materials that can be used for the liner are limited, since the liner must not introduce any undesirable or toxic materials to the packaged product, and should not affect its taste. Taste is especially troublesome with beverages because very small taste differences are easily noticed in such products.
- the preferred cleaning agent is aqueous sodium hy- 6 droxide, which is a reliable and sanitary cleaning agent but which is extremely corrosive and which attacks many coatings.
- any coating utilizable as a liner for the above-described containers must have a number of ice properties which are difiicult to obtain in combination. These include the following:
- the lining must not contribute or absorb any taste when in contact with beer, wine, soda and similar beverages for extended periods.
- the lining must be resistant to repeated washings with sodium hydroxide solution.
- a test which is employed to determine suitability in this regard subjects the coating to thirty washings with 5 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide at about 180 F. for five to ten minutes each, after which the lining should show no defects.
- the lining must be flexible enough to withstand severe external impacts during handling without cracking. This is quite important since the container may be dropped during use or while it is being returned for reuse, but it is diificult to inspect the interior of the container for cracks, etc.
- the lining should have good adhesion without the use of a primer, and the adhesion must be retained dur ing handling and use.
- Both relatively thick coatings and relatively thin coatings of the lining material must retain the above properties.
- relatively thick coatings are applied (ranging as high as 30 mils) in order to insure complete coverage, but some small portions may only receive thin layers, i.e., 3 to 5 mils. Adequate flexibility and impact resistance of such coatings is difiicult to achieve.
- the coating composition not contain any solvent or other volatile component, so that the coating can be applied to the interior of large containers having a relatively small opening without the necessity for difiicult and tedious procedures to remove residual volatile components.
- coating compositions which when cured in the manner described herein meet all of the above described properties and which provide highly desirable liners for the beverage containers described above.
- These coating compositions consist essentially of a mixture of a polyglycidyl ether of a polyhydric compound having an epoxide equivalent between about and about 400, and an epoxy ester of dimerized fatty acid having an opoxide equivalent between about 350 and about 950, cured with a non-volatile, polyfun'ctional aromatic amine catalyst.
- the polyglycidyl ether component is ordinarily made by reacting an oxirane compound, such as epichlorohydrin, 1-chloro-2,3,epoxybutane, l-bromo-2,3,epoxypentane or other epoxide, with a polyhydric compound, usually a polyhydric phenol.
- an oxirane compound such as epichlorohydrin, 1-chloro-2,3,epoxybutane, l-bromo-2,3,epoxypentane or other epoxide
- the preferred compounds are bisphenols such as bis(4-hy droxy phenyl)2,2-propane (which is known as Bisphenol A) and similar compounds, such as 4,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-l, l-ethane, bis (4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1-isobutane, bis(2- hydroxynaphthyl) -methane, and the like.
- Polyglycidyl ethers derived from polyhydroxy alcohols, such as sorbitol, pentaerythritol, polyalkyl alcohol and the like, may also be used.
- the polyglycidyl ether should have a relatively low epoxide equivalent, between about 100 and about 400, this being important in order to achieve the combination of properties described above.
- a specific preferred polyglycidyl ether is the reaction product of epichlorohydrin and Bisphenol A having an epoxide equivalent between about 175 and about 210 and a molecular weight of from about 350 and about 400.
- the epoxy ester component of the composition is an epoxy ester of dimerized fatty acid or mixture of fatty acids, the fatty acid or acids being any of those derived from vegetable and marine oils, such as linseed oil, soybean oil, tung oil, castor oil, and the like.
- the preferred dimer acid is dimerized linoleic acid.
- the epoxy ester is made by reacting the aforesaid acid material with an epoxy compound, which may be epichlorohydrin or the similar compounds mentioned above, or with a relatively low molecular weight polyepoxide, such as the diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A or a similar reaction product of epichlorohydrin and 'a polyhydric compound.
- the epoxide equivalent of the epoxy ester should be between about 350 and about 950, this again being necessary in order to attain the desired properties.
- a preferred epoxy ester is the ester of epichlorohydrin and dimerized linoleic acid having an epoxide equivalent between about 390 and about 470.
- Another preferred epoxy ester is the similar product made by reacting dimerized linoleic acid with the reaction product of Bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin having an epoxide equivalent of 185 to 192.
- Such epoxy ester has an epoxide equivalent between about 650 and 750.
- composition be cured using a non-volatile polyfunctional aromatic amine catalyst.
- catalysts include metaphenylenediamine, 4,4-methylenedianiline, orthophenylenediamine, triaminotriphenylmethane, and similar materials.
- a specific preferred catalyst is a eutectic mixture of metal-phenylenediamine and 4,4'methylenedianiline, which is available commercially in admixture with a small amount of 1,2-epoxy- 3-phenoxypropane as a diluent.
- the 1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxypropane serves to liquify the catalyst composition for convenience, and is present in the amount necessary to provide the desired viscosity.
- the proportions of the components are also important to the obtention of coatings having the properties described herein.
- the polyglycidyl ether component should be present in an amount between about 30 and about 80 parts by weight, and the epoxy ester corespondingly should be present in an amount between about 20 and about 70 parts by weight.
- the amount of catalyst employed is especially important and should be between percent and 30 percent of the total weight of the polyglycidyl ether and the epoxy ester. In the preferred coatings, a mixture of equal parts of the polyglycidyl ether and the epoxy ester is cured with 20 percent by weight of the aforesaid catalyst.
- the containers to which the above composition is applied are usually made of a metal such as aluminum although tinplate (cold rolled steel to which a thin layer of tin has been applied) can also be employed, as can other materials, which need not always be metal.
- the containers can be of various sizes and shapes, although as indicated, the invention is of particular utility with larger containers, i.e., holding several quarts or more.
- One container with which the coatings herein are especially desirable is a beverage container in the form of a small aluminum keg having one relatively small opening, located in one end.
- One commercial embodiment of such a container has a capacity of about one gallon of beverage, the gross volume being somewhat greater to permit pressurizing with a gas, if desired.
- a container is illustrated in the drawing herein. As shown the container 1 with a single opening 2 has a lining 3 consisting of the cured, composition of the invention.
- compositions are applied by blending the catalyst with the mixture of the polyglycidyl ether and the epoxy ester, and then applying this to the internal surface of the container.
- a flow coating procedure is utilized in which the composition is introduced into the container and the container is then rotated in several directions in order to distribute the coating over the interior surface.
- the catalyzed composition cures relatively slowly at room temperature, it remaining fluid for a period of twenty-four to forty-eight hours and then slowly curing to the hard finished coating. For this reason, elevated temperatures are generally employed in order to accelerate the rate of cure. Heating also aids in the coating process by reducing the viscosity of the composition.
- Curing time can vary considerably, depending upon the desired time and the available temperature, which are correlated. Common curing schedules are from 350 F. to 500 F. for 2 to 30 minutes. Faster curing at ambient temperatures can also be obtained by addition of accelerators, such as aliphatic amines or hydroxyl compounds. Examples of accelerators include ethylene diarnine, diethylene triamine, triethylamine, phenol, ethanolamine, Bisphenol A, and the like. Such accelerator-s do not replace the catalyst and are typically utilized in very small amounts, e.g., between 1 and 5 percent of the total weight of polyglycidyl ether and epoxy ester.
- accelerators such as aliphatic amines or hydroxyl compounds.
- accelerators include ethylene diarnine, diethylene triamine, triethylamine, phenol, ethanolamine, Bisphenol A, and the like.
- Such accelerator-s do not replace the catalyst and are typically utilized in very small amounts, e.g., between 1 and 5 percent of the total weight of
- Example 1 Fifty parts of polyglycidyl ether (made from the reaction of epichlorohydrin with Bisphenol A and having a viscosity of -160 poises at 25 C. and an epoxide equivalent of 185 to 192) were thoroughly blended with an equal amount of epoxy ester made from epichlorohydrin and dimerized linoleic acid and having an epoxide equivalent of 390 to 470. To this, there were added 20 parts of a catalyst composition consisting of a eutectic mixture of m-phenylenediamine and 4,4'-methylene dianiline along with a small amount of 1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxypropane sufficient to make the viscosity of the catalyst mixture 20 poises at 25 C.
- This composition was coated on the interior surface of several keg-shaped containers similar to that shown in the accompanying drawing and made of aluminum 0.115 inch thick.
- the containers were 8 inches high and 7 inches in diameter, with a gross capacity of slightly over 1 gallon, and had a single o'pening 4 inch in diameter, through which 50 grams of the above composition were added.
- the containers were then rotated on several different axes so as to coat the entire inner surface, and were heated to 500 F. for 5 minutes. They were then cooled and rinsed with water.
- Cola beverage is added to the water from (1) and tasted (with some materials a taste difference is noted in this test where none is observed in the water itself).
- the container is packed with one gallon of beer and sealed.
- the beer is pasteurized by heating at F. for 30 minutes, and then cooled and tasted.
- the containers containing the above coating passed each of the above tests with no observable taste differences.
- the container is filled (one gallon) with Water, sealed and then dropped from a height of 30 feet onto a steel bar. The container is then cut open and the coating examined for an cracks, especially in the area of impact. The above containers showed no cracks in this test.
- Adhesion The coating in the area of impact'in the flexibility test above is covered with pressure sensitive adhesive tape, which is then removed quickly. Any loss of adhesion is evidenced by removal of some of the coating. No loss of adhesion was noted with the above coatings.
- Example 2 Example 1 is repeated except that there are employed 70 parts of the polyglycidyl ether and 30 parts of the epoxy ester. Similar results are obtained.
- Example 3 Example 1 is repeated except that there are employed 40 parts of the polyglycidyl ether and 60 parts of the epoxy ester. Similar results to those of Example 1 are again obtained.
- Example 4 Example 1 is repeated except that the epoxy ester is made by esterifying dimerized linoleic acid with a polyglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A having an epoxide equivalent of 185-192 and a molecular weight of 350-400.
- the epoxy ester has an expoxide equivalent of 650 to 750. The product satisfactorily passes the above tests.
- Example 5 Example 1 is again repeated using as the polyglycidyl ether the reaction product of Bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin having an epoxide equivalent of 180-18 8 and a viscosity of 6595 poises at 25 C. Again, satisfactory results are obtained.
- Example 6 A composition suitable for spraying and curing at ambient temperatures (203 0 C.) is produced by adding 2 parts of diethylene triamine to the composition of Example 1. This composition is useful, for instance, to line .the interior sunfaces of large tank-cars and the like to be used for transporting or storing wine, beer, caustics and other liquids.
- a container suitable for packing beverages having its internal surface coated with a cured coating composition consisting essentially of (a) from about 30 to about parts by weight of a polyglycidyl ether of a poly hydric phenol having an epoxide equivalent between about and about 400; and
