A thermosetting powder coating material includes powder particles containing a thermosetting resin, a thermosetting agent, and a surfactant. The amount of the surfactant is about 0.1 ppm or more and about 8.0 ppm or less on a mass basis.

A coating composition for producing high performance heat-resistant coating materials for a variety of substrates including steel and metal and non-metal substrates as well as laminate structures and self-contained substrates. The coating composition includes an epoxy resin system comprising a fluorene-structured epoxy monomers and the like, along with a crosslinker or curing agent and a catalyst or catalyst package. The coating compositions when amine-, phenyl hydroxyl-, or carboxyl-functional may also be used as crosslinkers or curing agents.

The invention is related to a powder coating composition comprising a crosslinkable composition and a catalyst system, wherein the crosslinkable composition is formed by a crosslinkable donor component A and a crosslinkable acceptor component B that are crosslinkable by a Real Michael Addition (RMA) reaction via the catalyst system, and which catalyst system is able to catalyze the RMA crosslinking reaction at a curing temperature below 140? C.; wherein the catalyst system comprises a (semi) crystalline precursor P, an activator C and optionally a retarder T.

The invention is related to a powder coating composition comprising a crosslinkable composition and a catalyst system, wherein the crosslinkable composition is formed by a crosslinkable donor component A and a crosslinkable acceptor component B that are crosslinkable by a Real Michael Addition (RMA) wherein at least part of the crosslinkable donor component A and/or a crosslinkable acceptor component B are (semi) crystalline and comprise a polyurethane backbone formed by reacting a polyisocyanate, which is substantially hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), with a compound (i) which is more preferably a diol; and a compound (iia) comprising at least one, preferably 1, isocyanate reactive groups, preferably a hydroxyl and at least one functional group having at least one acidic CH donor group in activated methylene or methine, a compound (iib) comprising at least one, preferably (1), isocyanate reactive groups, preferably a hydroxyl and at least one functional group having at least one activated unsaturated acceptor groups C?C, to form the (semi) crystalline acceptor component B.

The invention relates to a vinyl functionalized urethane resin (VFUR) useful as a curing agent in thermosetting powder coating compositions, a process for making said vinyl functionalized urethane resin, a vinyl functionalized urethane resin composition (VFURC) useful as a curing agent in thermosetting powder coating compositions, a process for making vinyl functionalized urethane resin composition, a thermosetting powder coating composition (TPCC), a process for the preparation thereof, a cured thermosetting powder coating composition, processes for coating an article with said thermosetting powder coating composition and an article coated with said thermosetting powder coating composition as well as uses of the vinyl functionalized urethane resin or of the vinyl functionalized urethane resin composition or of the thermosetting powder coating composition or of the articles having coated and cured thereon said thermosetting powder coating composition. The invention relates also to thermosetting powder coating composition useful for powder-in-mold coating articles such as reinforced polymeric e.g. polyester resin articles and to powder-in-mold coating methods employing the thermosetting powder coating composition and use of the in-mold coated article.

The present invention relates to polyester polyols made from aromatic polyacid sources such as thermoplastic polyesters. The polyols can be made by heating a thermoplastic polyester such as virgin polyethylene terephthalate, recycled polyethylene terephthalate, or mixtures thereof, with a glycol to give a digested intermediate which is then reacted with a digestible polymer, which can be obtained from various recycle waste streams. The polyester polyols comprise a glycol-digested polyacid source and a further digestible polymer. The polyester polyols provide a sustainable alternative to petrochemical or biochemical based polyester polyols.

A powder coating composition comprising a specific organosilicon compound forms a coating which exhibits satisfactory water-loading resistant performance.

A dirt repellant panel coated with a powder coating composition that includes a polymeric binder and an anionic fluorosurfactant present in an amount ranging from about 0.1 wt. % to about 4 wt. %.

The present invention relates to the chemical digestion of keratin, such as avian feathers and wool. The digestion product is made by heating the feathers or wool with a solvent selected from glycols, alkanolamines, polyamines, and combinations thereof. The resulting digested keratin product is a keratin-derived polyol useful for making polymeric materials such as polyurethanes. The digestion products provide a sustainable alternative to petrochemical based intermediates.
