Abstract
A thermosetting powder coating composition which has good handling properties and which has a good blend of physical properties such as appearance, flexibility, hardness, solvent resistance, corrosion resistance and exterior durability is disclosed. The composition comprises a co-reactable particulate mixture of an acid group-containing acrylic polymer; an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid containing from 4 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule and/or a polymeric polyanhydride and a beta-hydroxyalkylamide crosslinking agent.
Claims11
A thermosetting powder coating composition comprising a co-reactable particulate mixture of:
- (A) 35-85 percent by weight based on weight of resin solids of an acid group-containing acrylic polymer having a Tg in the range of 35.degree.-100.degree. C.;
- (B) from 1-25 percent by weight based on weight of resin solids of a second carboxy group-containing material selected from the class consisting of aliphatic dicarboxylic acid containing from 4 to 20 carbon atoms per molecule and a polymeric polyanhydride including mixture thereof;
- and
- (C) a beta-hydroxyalkylamide curing agent;
- the equivalent ratio of beta-hydroxyalkylamide to carboxy functionality being within the range of 0.6 to 1.6:1.
