*Abstract: Epoxidized vegetable oils and vegetable oil esters yield stable coatings for metal beverage cans. The coatings provide inertness and mechanical characteristics similar to or better than those obtained with the traditional petroleum oil derived epoxy resins. The coatings do not impart any off flavors or objectionable taste to the beverage even after extended and punishing storage tests. The coatings of natural and renewable origin are more biocompatible than petroleum based products. Furthermore, the vegetable oil derived coatings are of lower cost than the petroleum derived epoxy resins.
