A coating composition including: about 50 wt % to 99 wt % of at least one thermoplastic polyester resin having a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of about 15,000 to about 60,000; and about 0.5 wt % to about 5 wt % of at least one metal-containing oxide chosen from iron oxides, zinc oxides, and mixtures and combinations thereof; and wherein the coating composition is meltable to form a coating on at least one portion of a substrate formed into a side seam of a container.

Methods and systems for coating metal substrates are provided. The methods and systems include sequential application of low flow and high flow powder coatings followed by a single heating step to provide a cured coating. The methods and systems include a marker that allows coating uniformity to be monitored and assessed during application. The described methods provide coatings with optimal surface smoothness and edge coverage.

A method of reducing dispersion viscosity in a dispersion coating formulation is disclosed. The method comprises substituting a portion of the conventional PVDF in the formulation with a highly crystalline PVDF. The highly crystalline PVDF has a crystallinity 44% or greater (from X-ray diffraction). The highly crystalline PVDF imparts lower viscosity to the coating dispersion formulation.

A system and process for producing a homogenous extrudate powder coating composition having predetermined properties, the system comprising a color library database that is configured to store one or more input formulation data objects capable of use in controlling the inputs and operation of an electronically controlled homogenous extrudate mixer.

The present invention provides a powder coating composition comprising a diisocyanate-modified bisphenol A epoxy resin, a curing agent, an auxiliary curing agent, an enhancer, and an extender pigment, wherein the auxiliary curing agent comprises an alkanolamine-modified epoxy polyol resin.

Provided are a powder coating material for household appliance coiled material and a preparation method thereof. The powder coating material comprises: a polyester resin, a curing agent, a silicate, a filler, a pigment, and an auxiliary agent. The powder coating material for the household appliance coiled material not only can meet the requirements of coating processes of the coiled material, but also has excellent performances such as flexibility, T-bend performance, impact resistance and solvent resistance, while satisfying the requirement for the thick coatings of the household appliance coiled material.

The invention relates to fluorinated-acrylic thermoplastic compositions, to powder coatings made of such compositions, and to a process for preparing said powder coatings.

A powder coating composition comprising: (a) a first acrylic powder resin having a hydroxyl value of at least about 180; (b) a second acrylic powder resin having a hydroxyl value between about 45 and about 80; (c) a crosslinker reactive with the hydroxyl functional acrylic resins; and (d) an acicular filler.

The present invention provides a system comprising an allophanate composition comprising a neutralized polyol, a polyuretdione resin, a tertiary amine catalyst, an additive package, and a reducer; and a neutralized basecoat comprising an inorganic salt and a pigment. The present invention further provides a method of making an allophanate system comprising combining a neutralized polyol with a polyuretdione resin in the presence of a tertiary amine catalyst, an additive package, and a reducer to produce an allophanate composition, and contacting the allophanate composition with a neutralized basecoat comprising an inorganic salt and a pigment. The system may be used to make coatings, adhesives, castings, composites, and sealants in which clear-coating on neutralized pigmented basecoats is much improved in comparison to coating on non-neutralized basecoats.
