Functional groups potentially present:hydroxyl, nitro (-NO 2 ).6. Epoxies6.1 Standard aromatic epoxy resins prepared from Epichlorohydrin (PM 16750) andbifunctional phenols included in the Inventory list of Monomers and Additives,such as Bisphenol A (PM 13480) or Bisphenol F (PM 13455/ 13457) to form anepoxy, which may be further reacted with the original phenol monomer and/orother phenolic monomers, such as p-t-butyl phenol (PM 14020).Functional groups potentially present:Oxirane, -OH, -ArOH, -C-N-C-6.2 Epoxy novolac resins prepared from Epichlorohydrin (PM 16750) and novolacprecursor resin made from formaldehyde (PM 17260) and phenols included inthe Inventory list of Monomers and Additives, typically Phenol (PM 22960).Functional groups potentially present:Oxirane, Ar-OH, -C-N-C-, -Ar-CH 2 -Ar-, -Ar-CH2-O-CH2-Ar-The use of epoxy novolacs in can coatings is not permitted, but they can beused in heavy duty coatings. For further details refer to Regulation (EC) No1895/2005.6.3 Epoxy-acrylic resins prepared from epoxies (6.1) which are further modified byreaction with acrylic/vinyl monomers included on the Inventory list of Monomersand Additives, such as Acrylic or Methacrylic acids (PMs 10690 or 20020) andStyrene (PM 24610), or further reacted with an acrylic resin (1.1 or 1.2)prepared from substances on the Inventory list of Monomers and Additives. Acidfunctionality may be neutralised by reaction with a (semi-) volatile amine, suchas dimethylaminoethanol (PM 16150).Functional groups potentially present:Oxirane, ester, -OH, R-COOH, aromatic and/or aliphatic residual >C=C
