Abstract: Improved powder coatings exhibit enhanced resistance to bacterial and fungal attack, while possessing excellent toughness, appearance, corrosion resistance, durability, processability, and ease of application. The coating is comprised of anti-microbial agents that are homogeneously dispersed within the powder or impact fused to powder particles or both. An article may be coated with a thermoset thermoplastic, or radiation curable powder, which may be applied by electrostatic spray or fluidized bed or by thermal or flame spray.

Abstract: This invention relates to a powder coating composition comprising a mixture of conventional, possibly coloured, non-conductive thermosetting powder coating compositions with highly conductive thermosetting powder coating compositions so as to produce a coating having an electrical surface resistance of less than 1010 &OHgr; (ohm), preferably of less than 108 &OHgr; (ohm), and to the substrates coated therewith. This invention also relates to using a mixture of non-conductive and conductive powder coating compositions to produce a coated surface having an electrical surface resistance sufficiently low to possess antistatic properties.

Abstract: Improved powder coatings exhibit enhanced resistance to bacterial and fungal attack, while possessing excellent toughness, appearance, corrosion resistance, durability, processability, and ease of application. The coating is comprised of anti-microbial agents melt-processed into the matrices of coating powders or bonded to coating powders. An article may be coated with a thermoset or thermoplastic powder that may be applied by electrostatic spray or fluidized bed or by thermal or flame spray.

The coating is comprised of anti-microbial agents melt-processed into the matrices of powder coatings. An article may be coated with a thermoset or thermoplastic powder which may be applied by electrostatic spray, by dipping it into a fluidized bed (or electrostatically charging it and then dipping it into the fluidized bed), or by thermal or flame spray.
