Abstract: A powder coating composition grindable at non-cryogenic temperatures includes: (a) a first polymer having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of more than 1,000 and a Tg of at least 40° C.; (b) a second polymer having a Tm of at least 100° C.; and optionally (c) a cross-linker. The first polymer and the second polymer are different from one another, and each of the first and second polymers have less than 25 wt % fluorine-containing monomeric units, with wt % based on the total weight of the monomeric units in each polymer. Upon grinding at a temperature above 4° C. the coating composition has an average particle size from 15 to 150 microns. Further coating compositions, methods of preparing coating compositions, coating systems, and substrates coated with a powder coating composition are also disclosed.
