Abstract: The present invention provides a composite powder coating composition obtained by granulating, with a liquid binder, a plurality of starting powder coating materials that are different from each other in hue and/or kind of base resin, and drying the granules, the liquid binder being a solution or dispersion of a binder compound having a softening temperature of 30 to 200° C. and containing a self-crosslinkable functional group or groups and/or a functional group or groups that complementarily react with functional groups of the starting powder coating materials, in a solvent that does not dissolve the starting powder coating materials; production process therefor; and a method for color-matching a composite powder coating composition, the method comprising the steps of dry blending, for color matching, a plurality of starting powder coating materials having different hues, granulating the resulting blend by adding the above-mentioned liquid binder, and drying the granules.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a coating film on an aluminum substrate, comprising the steps of: (1) coating an aluminum substrate with a thermosetting polyester resin lustrous powder base coating composition (a) containing a lustrous material, and baking the resulting base coat layer; and (2) coating the base coat layer with a thermosetting acrylic resin clear powder coating composition (b), and baking the resulting clear coat layer to obtain a lustrous multilayer coating film.

Abstract: The present invention provides a powder paint excellent in productivity and cost, because the powder paints that are not adhered to the substrate can recovered and reused. And in case of using the powder paint of the present invention, coating efficiency is high and fine textured coated films excellent in attractiveness of appearance and water resistance can be obtained, because the base paint powder and the pigment particle thereof hardly separate. The powder paints of the present invention are characterized in that the pigment particles are bound to the base paint powders via shellac. The powder paints of the present invention not only allows uniform and firm binding of pigment particles to base paint powders by the action of shellac, but also provides the resulting coated films with excellent attractiveness of appearance.
