Abstract
A thermosetting powder coating composition which comprises a resin composition (A) having a sea-island type microphase separation structure constituted of a continuous phase (a sea phase) comprising an acrylic copolymer and a dispersion phase (an island phase) comprising a thermoplastic elastomer and a curing agent (B) and in which the total amount of a thermosetting elastomer (a-2) constituting the dispersion phase is in the range of 0.5 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the resin composition (A). This powder coating composition is excellent in chipping resistance, impact resistance, weathering resistance and appearance properties, and it is particularly suitable for the coating of vehicles.
