PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER POWDER

摘要

Process for producing a thermoplastic polymer powder, which comprises the steps of: (i) compression-molding a powdery raw material of a thermoplastic polymer to form tablets, by means of a tablet press; and, (ii) comminuting the tablets to form the thermoplastic polymer powder. Further disclosed is a polymer powder obtained by said process, which typically has an average particle size ranging from 1 to 100 μι&eegr;, and is further characterized by a combination of attributes which are in favour of powder coating application.
