Mixtures of beta-hydroxyalkyl amides and their use as cross-linking agents for the preparation of powder paints

摘要

Described herein are mixtures of cross-linking agents for the preparation of powder paints wherein the binder consists of polyester resins having free carboxyl groups. The cross-linking mixture itself comprises at least one Beta-hydroxyalkylamide compound having a Beta-hydroxy functional of 4 and at least one compound of formula (II)where R is linear or branched C2-C10 alkyl group having a Beta-hydroxy functionality of 2, wherein said cross-linked mixture has a mean Beta-hydroxy functionality of between 2.1 and 3.9.
