Patent number: 6593401Abstract: The present invention relates to a powder coating composition containing a low temperature curable epoxy resin, and more particularly to a powder coating composition containing a low temperature curable epoxy resin, which can be readily cured at a low temperature, thereby capable of being applied to coating objects that are noneconomical in terms of workability at an elevated temperature, or are thermally sensitive. The present invention provides a powder coating composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a low temperature curable epoxy resin; 30 to 500 parts by weight of a bisphenol-A curing agent or a polyester curing agent; 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of a defoaming agent; and 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of a leveling agent.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2002Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Kukdo Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chongsoo Park, Jinseon Yu, Youngsoo Park, Jinwoo Kim

Patent number: 6534181Abstract: A resin blend that includes a copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride (SMA), an epoxy resin (brominated, phosphonated, or bromine-free), and a multifunctional amine cross-linking agent is disclosed. The cross-linking agent generally contains at least two primary amino groups to promote formation of imide functionalities upon reaction with the anhydride moieties of the SMA copolymer. Particularly useful cross-linking agents include triazine-centered diamino and triamino compounds such as benzoguanamine, acetoguanamine, and melamine. The disclosed resin blend finds use as a polymer matrix in composite materials and as an impregnating resin in laminates. Compared to conventional SMA copolymer/epoxy resin blends, the disclosed resin exhibits lower dielectric constant and dissipation factor, as well as higher thermal and moisture resistance, making it especially useful in high-speed, low-loss printed wire board applications.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2001Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Neltec, Inc.Inventor: David K.

Patent number: 6479588Abstract: A graft copolymer comprising a polyamide to which is grafted a glycidyl group-containing acrylate copolymer. The graft copolymer can be prepared by dispersing in an organic solvent a polyamide and a material which will react with the polyamide to form the graft copolymer of the polyamide and the acrylate copolymer and reacting the polyamide and the material so as to form said graft copolymer. The graft copolymer can exhibit improved toughness and reduced friability and can be used to form molded articles and in coating compositions, especially powder coating compositions. The coatings can exhibit transparency, reduced brittleness and increased chip resistance. The powder coatings can further exhibit high gloss and smoothness due to superior flow characteristics thereby enabling thinner coatings to be used that provide acceptable appearance.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2000Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Anderson Development Co.Inventors: Szu-Ping Lu, Paul J.
