Curable partially plasticised (optionally particulate) compositions comprising partially crystalline polymers which can be made by for example a non-attritive method comprising heating a mixture of the polymer in a preferably moderate curable solvent for the polymer to a temperature above the melting point of the polymer when in the solvent and then cooling whereupon the polymer re-crystallizes from the mixture. Also the use of such compositions in coating and in coating formulation.

Coating process and curable compositions

A coating process in which a curable composition containing crystallizable polymer is provided on a surface and subsequently cured to produce a cured coating on the surface, wherein the process comprises

Process for forming a coating from a curable composition containing

A process for the application of a thin crystalline polypropylene coating to a surface which employs partially crystalline polypropylene particles which comprise zones of amorphous polypropylene containing entrapped moderate solvent. When heated particles flow and coalesce better than conventional polypropylene particles and so allow thinner coatings to be obtained. Also articles to which the coatings have been applied.
