Aqueous resin composition, aqueous coating material containing the composition, coating provided by the material, and metal plate coated with the material

Abstract

There is provided an aqueous resin composition excellent in settability, flexibility, retort resistance, hygienicity, sprayability and dispersibility in water, and used to coat an internal surface of a can. The aqueous resin composition contains: polyester resin having a specific structure in a molecular chain thereof and/or at a terminal of the molecular chain, the polyester resin having added thereto an opened ring of a compound having a molecule with a carboxylic anhydride group therein, at least no less than 10% by mole of the compound being a compound having a molecule with no less than two carboxylic anhydride groups, the polyester resin having a resin acid value of 150 to 800 eq/106 g and a number-average molecular weight of 5,000 to 100,000; resol-type phenol resin corresponding to a copolymer of a formaldehyde and a phenol compound containing no less than 50% by weight of a phenol compound having no less than three reactive point with formaldehyde, the resol-type phenol resin having no less than one alkoxy methyl group on average per aromatic nucleus; a basic compound; and water, or water and an organic solvent.
