PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aqueous
coating composition which improves various defects possessed by a self-emulsifiable
epoxy resin, excels in
water resistance, has sufficient processability,
corrosion resistance, and slip properties at the same time when used as a can
coating, particularly a lid
coating, and can form a coating film having both
flavor properties and adhesion when used as an inner
surface coating for a bottomed cylindrical member. SOLUTION: The aqueous coating composition comprises an acrylic-modified
epoxy resin (1), a basic compound, and an
aqueous medium. Here, the acrylic-modified
epoxy resin (1) is obtained by reacting part of the epoxy groups of an epoxy resin (a1) with part of the carboxy groups of a carboxy group-containing
acrylic resin (a2) having an
acid value X<SB>a< / SB>(mgKOH / g) of 10≤X<SB>a< / SB>≤135, a
glass transition temperature Tg (°C) of -20≤Tg≤20, and a weight average molecular weight Mw of 10,000≤Mw≤200,000 and a carboxy group-containing
acrylic resin (a3) having an
acid value X<SB>B< / SB>(mgKOH / g) of 180≤X<SB>B< / SB>≤450. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
