Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate having (a) a first material applied to at least a portion of the substrate, and (b) a coating layer deposited from a powder coating composition including a film-forming resin, and optionally a thermally conductive, electrically insulative filler material and/or a crosslinker that is reactive with the film-forming resin, in direct contact with at least a portion of the substrate to which the first material has been applied. The first material is (i) a catalyst that catalyzes cure of the powder coating composition, (ii) a component reactive with the film-forming resin and/or the crosslinker of the powder coating composition, and/or (iii) a rheology modifier.

Abstract: Methods of thermal spraying polymeric coatings are disclosed. A powder polymeric coating material is introduced into a thermal spray applicator. Particles of the polymeric coating material are heated by the thermal spray applicator, and the heated coating particles are directed toward a substrate to form a deposited coating. The deposited coating may be post-heated onto the substrate to form the polymeric coating with desirable surface characteristics. Thermal spray coating systems are also disclosed for thermally spraying the polymeric coatings. The thermal spray applicator may include a combustion chamber and an injection nozzle assembly that transfers coating powders to a heated zone generated from the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A powder coating composition includes: a film-forming resin; a lignin polymer that is substantially free of sulfonate or sulfonic acid groups; and a crosslinker reactive with functional groups of the film-forming resin and the lignin polymer. The lignin polymer includes at least 5 weight % of the powder coating composition, based on the total solids weight of the powder coating composition. Further, when cured to form a coating, the film-forming resin and lignin polymer react and chemically bond with the crosslinker to form a binder of the coating.
