A non-toxic isosorbide-based degassing agent producible from biorenewable sources for addition to paints and coatings, powder coatings in particular, to prevent pinholing and minimize yellow discoloration during cure without use of potentially harmful VOCs or predominant proportions of benzoin.

The present invention relates to a particulate coating composition, and preferably a powder coating composition, comprising: (i) at least one epoxy resin; (ii) at least one curing agent; (iii) at least one organosilane adhesion promoter; and (iv) 0.5-9.0 wt % metal flakes, wherein said metal flakes are selected from zinc flakes, aluminium flakes, stainless steel flakes or magnesium flakes.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing powder paint compositions and liquid paint compositions for baking, which have excellent corrosion resistance and workability as well as high durability and chemical resistance, and form a good lining film free from failures such as cracks; and a coating film and coated objects comprising such powder paint compositions or liquid paint compositions for baking. Powder paint compositions for baking comprise fluororesin where one or more types of porous coordination polymer (PCP)/metal-organic framework (MOF) formed by coordinate bonds between organic ligands and central metals disperse.

A composition for a microtexture hydrophobic or superhydrophobic coating. The microtexture coating includes a coating layer disposed on a substrate with hydrophobic or superhydrophobic particles dispersed on top of or partially embedded in the coating layer to form an outer layer. The outer layer exhibits water repellant properties. Use of the microtexture coating permits large scale, durable hydrophobic or superhydrophobic coating applications. A method of applying a coating to a substrate creating a hydrophobic or superhydrophobic surface that includes applying a polymer material or an adhesive material to the substrate creating a polymer coating layer having a top surface; initially curing the applied coating layer for a specified amount of time allowing the coating layer to partially cure; and applying a solution, at a specified velocity, containing hydrophobic particles or superhydrophobic particles on top of the partially cured coating layer.
