A thermosetting powder coating composition comprising a binder, wherein 100 parts by weight of the binder comprises (A) from 30 to 70 parts by weight of at least one carboxylic acid functional branched polyester having an acid number of at least 77 mg KOH/g, and (B) from 70 to 30 parts by weight of at least one carboxylic acid functional polyester having an acid number of lower than 50 mg KOH/g. The thermosetting powder composition may be used for coating metallic and non-metallic substrates, it provides outstanding flow and permits to obtain low gloss coatings, provides excellent mechanical properties, and exhibits good solvent resistance and weathering.

Branched polyester for powder coatings

A method of use of copolymers containing fluoro groups and hydroxyl groups as additives in powder coating materials, comprising mixing these component with powder coatings resins, the copolymers comprising units of the following monomers: olefinically unsaturated monomers having from 5 to 40 carbon atoms, at least one hydroxyl group, and at least one free-radically polymerizable C&#x2550;C double bond, alkyl esters of monoolefinically unsaturated monocarboxylic acids or dialkyl esters of olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids or mixtures thereof, and (per)fluoroalkyl esters of said carboxylic acids, and powder coating materials which comprise these additives for the purpose of improving the flow properties and the surface.
