  • Publication number: 20040096590
    Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous coating composition wherein the resulting coating film has good visual appearance and excellent flip-flop properties, and a method for formation of a multilayer coating film. The aqueous coating composition comprising: an aqueous resin dispersion which is obtained by solution-polymerizing a monomer mixed solution A having an acid value of 30 to 150 and a hydroxyl group value of 10 to 100 in an organic solvent, thereby to synthesize a copolymer solution, converting the copolymer solution into an aqueous solution, removing the organic solvent under reduced pressure to obtain an aqueous solution resin for emulsion polymerization, and then emulsion-polymerizing a monomer mixed solution B having an acid value of 20 as an upper limit and a hydroxyl group value of 100 as an upper limit using the aqueous solution resin for emulsion polymerization as a protective colloid, thereby to synthesize a core resin in the protective colloid; and a glitter material.

  • Patent number: 6130281
    Abstract: A powder coating comprising a powder material comprising a film-forming resin as a main component, said powder material having a volume average particle size of not more than 30 .mu.m and containing particles having a particle size which is not more than one-fifth of said volume average particle size, in a proportion of not more than 5 wt %. When the powder material is charged by corona discharge method or frictional electrification method, sprayed on a coating object to allow electrostatic adhesion and heated, a coating film can be obtained which has a uniform thickness on a coating object having a complicated shape including non-planar parts.

  • Patent number: 6025035
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for forming a coating film which comprises applying an epoxy resin powder coating (A) onto a substrate by electrostatic coating, half-baking the resultant uncured coat, applying a polyester resin powder coating (B) onto the half-baked coat by electrostatic coating, and baking the two uncured coats simultaneously, wherein the epoxy resin powder coating (A) and the polyester resin powder coating (B) is such that the gel time ratio [epoxy resin powder coating (A)]/[polyester resin powder coating (B)] at 180.degree. C. is 1/1 through 1/5, the gel time of the epoxy resin powder coating (A) at 180.degree. C. is 40 to 400 seconds, and the gel time of the polyester resin powder coating (B) at 180.degree. C. is not over 500 seconds.
