Textured weatherable powder coatings

摘要

A thermosetting weatherable powder coating composition applyable to a temperature sensitive substrate by means of electrostatic spray or fluidized bed, and curable at low temperature to form a textured surface to hide irregularities on the surface of the underlying substrate. The powder coating composition includes a hardener with a functionality of 2 or greater capable of reacting with an acid or anhydride functional group, a polymeric coreactant with a functionality of 2 or greater capable of reacting with the hardener, a carboxylic acid functional polyester and optionally, a catalyst, but no texturing agent. The polymeric coreactant is made by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and at least one carboxyl acid functional ethylenically unsaturated monomer or anhydride functional ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and mixtures thereof.
