Provided are thermosetting coating compositions comprised of a core active mixture of a glycidyl group containing acrylic polymer and an aliphatic carboxyl functional polyester, e.g., poly(tetramethylene trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) along with an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid. The coatings obtained from the application and curing of these compositions possess excellent weathering properties.

Thermosetting powder coating compositions

This invention provides weatherable thermosetting powder coatings based on an all-aliphatic polyester comprised of residues of 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, or 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and 2,6-decahydronaphthalene dimethanol. The polyester may be predominantly hydroxyl or carboxyl functional. Coating compositions prepared therefrom provide coatings which exhibit superior weatherability.

Crosslinked polyesters made from decahydronaphthalene dimethanol

Provided are thermosetting powder coatings based on a resin based on dimethyl 2,6-decalindicarboxylate and neopentyl glycol. The resin may be modified with other diacids or diols but must have a suitable glass transition temperature (Tg) required for powder coatings. We have found that this aliphatic polyester meets the basic Tg requirement of powder coatings and found that it provides powder coating with excellent weatherability. The polyester resin has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of from about 1,500 to about 10,000, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of about 45.degree. C. to 100.degree. C., and a hydroxyl or acid number of from about 20 to about 100.

Powder coating having good UV resistance

This invention relates to thermosetting powder coatings formulated with a polyisocyanate and a blend of a hydroxylated polyester resin having a low hydroxyl number and a hydroxylated resin based on tris(hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate having a high hydroxyl number. Powder coatings from this blend exhibit high hardness and good caking stability.

Polyurethane powder coatings

Provided are novel thermosetting powder coating compositions comprised of blends of certain amorphous polyesters, polyesters containing 1,4- and 1,3-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)-benzene, and cross-linking agents. Coatings provided therefrom possess good gloss, impact strength, and flexibility.

Disclosed are thermosetting, powder coating compositions comprised of certain novel polyesters comprised of residues of terephthalic acid and 1,3-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene in combination with a blocked polyisocyanate which, when applied to a substrate and heated, provide cross-linked coatings having a combination of desirable properties including good gloss, impact strength and flexibility.
