Abstract: Heat-curable powder coating compositions are provided which include i) at least one crystalline polyester resin present in an amount of at least 7.5 wt %; ii) at least one amorphous polyester resin present in an amount of at most 92.5 wt %; and iii) at least one peroxide present in an amount of at least 0.65 parts of peroxide in hundred parts of i)+ii) (pph), wherein the at least one crystalline polyester resin has 2-butenedioic acid ethylenic unsaturations and/or the at least one amorphous polyester resin has 2-butenedioic acid ethylenic unsaturations. The compositions may be cured to an acceptable degree at low temperature, e.g., 130° C. /20 minutes offering powder coatings that may exhibit enhanced flexibility and good adhesion. In addition, the compositions can suitably be used on heat- and/or non heat-sensitive substrates, even if the composition is highly pigmented.
