Coated container device, method of making the same

Abstract

The instant invention provides a coated container device, and method of making the same. The coated container device according to the instant invention comprises: (1) a metal substrate; and (2) one or more crosslinked coating layers associated with the metal substrate, wherein the one or more crosslinked coating layers are derived from the application of one or more aqueous dispersions to at least one surface of the metal substrate, and wherein the one or more aqueous dispersion comprise: (a) one or more a base polymer; (b) one or more a stabilizing agent; (c) optionally one or more neutralizing agents, (d) one or more crosslinking agents; and (e) water.

1 . A coated container device or a coated closure device comprising:
 a metal substrate; and   one or more crosslinked coating layers associated with said metal substrate, and wherein said one or more crosslinked coating layers are derived from the application of one or more aqueous dispersions to at least one surface of said metal substrate, and wherein said
 one or more aqueous dispersions comprise; 
 one or more base polymers; 
 one or more stabilizing agents; 
 one or more crosslinking agents; and 
 water. 
   
     
     
         2 . A method for making a coated container device or a coated closure device comprising the steps of:
 selecting a metal substrate;   selecting one or more aqueous dispersions comprising;
 one or more base polymers; 
 one or more stabilizing agents; 
 one or more crosslinking agents; and 
 water; 
   applying said one or more aqueous dispersions to at least one surface of said metal substrate;   removing at least a portion of the water from said one or more aqueous dispersions;   thereby forming one or more crosslinked coating layers associated with said metal substrate; and   forming said coated metal substrate into a coated container device or a coated closure device.   
     
     
         3 . A method for making a coated container device or a coated closure device comprising the steps of:
 selecting a metal substrate;   forming said metal into a container device;   selecting one or more aqueous dispersions comprising;
 one or more base polymers; 
 one or more stabilizing agents; 
 one or more crosslinking agents; and 
 water; 
   applying said one or more aqueous dispersions to at least one surface of said container device or said closure device;   removing at least a portion of the water from said one or more aqueous dispersions;   thereby forming one or more crosslinked coating layers associated with at least one surface of said container device or said closure device; and   thereby forming said coated container device or said coated closure device.   
     
     
         4 . Any of the  claims 1 - 3 , wherein said base polymer comprises one or more polyolefins. 
     
     
         5 . Any of the  claims 1 - 3 , wherein said metal substrate is a pre-coated metal substrate.
