A fluorine-containing resin particle contains 0 or more and 30 or less carboxyl groups per 10.sup.6 carbon atoms and 0 ppm or more and 3 ppm or less of a basic compound.

Thermosetting powder coating compositions and processes for making the thermosetting powder coating compositions and processes for coating an article with the thermosetting powder coating compositions are disclosed. Cured thermosetting powder coating compositions are obtained by curing of the thermosetting powder coating compositions of the invention. Articles are provided having coated thereon the thermosetting powder coating compositions as well as to articles having coated and cured thereon the thermosetting powder coating compositions. The thermosetting powder coating compositions exhibit a substantially lower T.sub.chalk-free, that is a ΔT.sub.chalk-free which is in the range of from and including 5 up to and not including 10° C., wherein ΔT.sub.chalk-free=T.sub.chalk-free.sup.REF−T.sub.chalk-free.sup.A where T.sub.chalk-free.sup.A is the T.sub.chalk-free of a thermosetting powder coating composition according to the invention (TPCC-A) and T.sub.chalk-free.sup.REF is the T.sub.chalk-free of a thermosetting powder coating composition not according to the invention (TPCC-REF) that is comparable to TPCC-A.

The present invention relates to curable photochromic compositions which include an at least di-functional oxazoline functional material, an at least di-functional first carboxylic acid functional material, an optional second carboxylic acid functional material having at least three carboxylic acid groups, which optionally includes a carboxylic acid functional polymer, and a photochromic compound. The curable photochromic compositions have an equivalents ratio of oxazoline equivalents of the oxazoline functional material to a total carboxylic acid equivalents of the first and optional second carboxylic acid functional materials of from 0.5:1 to 10:1 when the second carboxylic acid functional material is not present, and from 0.5:1 to 3:1 when the second carboxylic acid functional material is present. The present invention, more particularly, relates to curable photochromic adhesive compositions, and curable photochromic coating compositions.
