There is disclosed a metal container containing a beverage or food having its internal surface coated with an adherent sanitary liner, the coating being a cured layer of a water-based coating composition consisting essentially of from about 5 percent to about 60 percent by weight of an amine-neutralized or partially neutralized interpolymer formed in the presence of a vinyl polymerization catalyst and in the absence of mercaptan, the interpolymer being comprised of from about 10 percent to about 30 percent of acrylamide or methacrylamide in units of the structure: <IMAGE> where R' is methyl or hydrogen and R is hydrogen or lower alkyl, from about 5 percent to about 15 percent of units formed by vinyl polymerization of monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid; from about 10 percent to about 30 percent of units derived by vinyl polymerization of monovinyl aromatic monomer; from about 10 percent to about 30 percent of units formed by vinyl polymerization of flexibilizing monomer selected from lower alkyl acrylates such as ethyl acrylate; and from about 20 percent to about 45 percent of nitrile, such as acrylonitrile; wherein the interpolymer is solubilized by neutralizing acid groups of the interpolymer with a sufficient amount of monomeric amine to produce at least 0.200 milli-equivalents of salt per gram of resin solids; and from about 40 percent to about 95 percent by weight of a liquid medium consisting of a mixture of water-soluble or water-miscible organic solvents and water, wherein at least 60 percent by weight of the mixture is water. These cured coatings are characterized by improved impermeability to lubricants and flavor components and also better resist water at elevated temperature so as to also be useful as an exterior coating.
