Abstract

Epoxy resin has been used as can coating material for decades because of its suitable chemical and mechanical properties compared to the other resins. Recently, usage of this resin has been limited due to the migration of Bisphenol‌ A (BPA) derivatives into the foodstuffs. Different solutions have been proposed to solve this problem, but so far, no suitable, comprehensive and comprehensive answer has been provided. In the current study, coating material containing mixed polyester and epoxy resins with different amounts of nano-silica particles, using Taguchi experimental design method, were prepared. The formulated coating materials were cured in the presence of melamine formaldehyde resin. The mechanical and chemical properties of cured coatings were investigated based on the EN1186-EU 10:2011 standard method. Migration tests containing global migration and BPA migration were performed, and also toxicity assessment showed that the concentrations of released materials into the food simulants were in the acceptable ranges, based on the above-mentioned standard. Also, the results showed that the polyester resin can be a suitable structure for can coatings and replacing it with epoxy resin, up to about 47%, and the presence of silica nanoparticles (about 0.5 wt%), leads to synergistic effects and increases the barrier and protective properties of the modified coatings.
