  • RETROREFLECTIVE COATING COMPOSITIONS, COATINGS FORMED THEREFROM, AND METHODS OF FORMING SUCH COATINGS
    Publication number: 20230242772
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a retroreflective powder coating composition that includes: (a) a binder including a film-forming resin; and (b) a plurality of particles in which at least a portion of the particles include particles at least partially coated with a metallic material. The coating composition has a glass plate flow of 40 mm or less before addition of the plurality of particles, and/or at least portion of the particles are further coated with an additional material that lowers a surface energy of the particles. A method of forming a coating is also disclosed.

  • POWDER COATING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A POLYESTER AND A FLUOROPOLYMER AND COATINGS FORMED THEREFROM
    Publication number: 20220348786
    Abstract: A powder coating composition can include: a polyester polymer having carboxylic acid functional groups; a first crosslinker reactive with the carboxylic acid functional groups of the polyester polymer; and a fluoropolymer unreactive with the polyester polymer and first crosslinker. A weight ratio of the polyester polymer to the fluoropolymer is from 80:20 to 60:40. When cured, the powder coating composition forms a single coating layer including the polyester polymer and the fluoropolymer.
