Phenolic vinyl type coating

The resins used for the manufacture of food and beverage can lacquers may be either natural or synthetic. Resins combined with drying or semi-drying oils form a class of coatings known as oleoresinous. Other coatings for food and beverage cans are obtained using synthetic resins such as phenolics and epoxies, and acrylic, vinyl, and butadiene polymers. For a brief summary as to what type of resins are used for cans, see Table I.
