Patent number: 5686312Abstract: A method for reducing residue formation caused by volatile materials during the curing of powder coating compositions which includes the steps of applying different powder coating compositions to separate bases; placing each coated base in a separate extraction chamber; placing each separate extraction chamber in a curing oven; heating the coated base in its respective extraction chamber in the curing oven to curing temperature to cure the coating composition, and simultaneously flowing a stream of air through the respective extraction chamber to capture volatile emissions from the volatile materials in the air stream during the curing process; simultaneously flowing the respective stream of air out of the curing oven and chilling the stream to condense the volatile emissions from each of the compositions to a collectable form; determining the quantity of the emitted product from each of the compositions; and comparing the quantity of emitted product from each of the compositions to determine the compositionType: GrantFiled: January 29, 1996Date of Patent: November 11, 1997Assignee: Ferro CorporationInventors: Robert W.

Patent number: 5270416Abstract: Thermosetting powder coating compositions are produced based on a low molecular weight glycidyl functional copolymer produced by solvent polymerization of ethylenic monomers in an organic solvent polymerization medium containing at least 15% by weight organic solvent based on the weight of solvent and monomers copolymerized, where the ethylenic monomers copolymerized comprise on a weight basis between about 15% and 35% glycidyl methacrylate, between about 5% and 60% methyl methacrylate, between about 2% and 15% butyl methacrylate, and between about 5% and 50% styrene, to produce glycidyl functional copolymer having a melt viscosity between 150 and 400 poise and a Tg between 80.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., where the copolymer is coreactive with carboxyl functional crosslinking compounds.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1992Date of Patent: December 14, 1993Assignee: Ferro CorporationInventors: Perry A.
