Abstract: A powder composition including a resin and from 5% to 70%, by weight based on powder composition weight, of a corrosion-inhibiting pigment, optionally including from 0% to 65%, by weight based on powder composition weight, zinc, the composition being substantially free from pigment providing a metallic effect is provided. The corrosion-inhibiting pigment may be present in amounts of up to 50%, by weight based on powder composition weight, for example, up to 35%. A method for coating a substrate with the powder composition and the coated substrate so formed are also provided.

Abstract: A process for preparing an acrylic powder coating resin system includes polymerizing at least one acrylic monomer in a non-aqueous solvent in the presence of a hydrophobic submicron particle and an initiator, as well as powder coating compositions prepared from the acrylic powder coating resin system.

Abstract: The present invention provides chip-resistant powder topcoats for corrosion resistant powder coated steel substrates, such as, for example, automotive suspension coil springs, comprising powder coatings formed from one or more wax and a resin component of one or more toughened epoxy resin. The present invention provides dual coatings of toughened epoxy powder basecoats and topcoats, which may be foamed and/or fiber reinforced. The powder used to form the chip resistant topcoat can further comprise up to 200 phr or, preferably, up to 75 phr of one or more extender, or 0.5 or more phr of one or more extender, such as barium sulfate, while fully retaining its chip resistant properties. In addition, the powder used to form the chip resistant topcoat can be a low temperature curing powder comprising one or more low temperature curing agent.

Abstract: The present invention provides storage stable powder compositions comprising one or more carboxylic acid or anhydride functional, phosphorus-containing polyester chosen from aromatic polyesters having an acid number of 15 or higher mg KOH/g polyester, aliphatic polyesters having an acid number of 20 or higher mg KOH/g polyester. The acid functional, phosphorus-containing polyester comprises the reaction product of one or more polyacid, one or more phosphorus-containing acid or salt thereof and one or more polyol. Preferably, the one or more polyol reactant contains no ?-hydrogen such as, for example, neopentyl glycol (NPG). The acid functional, phosphorus-containing polyester may comprise all or part of a binder powder composition, such as a coating powder, or it may comprise an additive thereto that imparts improved pigment wetting and corrosion resistance to a binder composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides thermosetting polyester powder or epoxy-containing acrylic powder compositions comprising one or more curing agent adduct of a polyester, preferably a linear polyester, wherein when the said curing agent adduct comprises an adduct of one or more polyepoxy compound, the said polyepoxy compound has an average of 2.01 or more epoxy groups per molecule. The compositions provide flexible coatings, films and capstocks having improved impact resistance, especially for use in automotive and architectural applications. To improve impact strength of coatings and films provided thereby, the compositions comprise curing agent adducts of one or more polyepoxy compound chosen from triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) and triglycidyl trimellitate with a carboxyl functional polyester having a carboxyl equivalent weight of 602 or more.
