Powder coating composition and method for coating a substrate using said powder coating composition

摘要

The present invention is directed to a powder coating composition containing at least one film forming resin and a non-flatting and slip-enhancing amount of at least one additive. The additive is a non-crosslinked reaction product of a hydroxy compound and a carboxylic acid where the reaction product contains at least one ester functionality and at least one straight chain hydrocarbyl group of about 10 to about 100 carbon atoms. The most preferred additive is sorbitan tristearate. The cured powder coatings exhibit lower coefficient of friction and substantial gloss retention.
