Powder compositions of crystalline polyesters containing end methacrylyl groups

摘要

Radiation-curable powder coating compsns. contain crystalline polyester(s) with methacrylyl terminal gps. obtd. by reacting glycidyl methacrylate with a carboxy-terminated polyester of: (a) a polyester reaction prod. of: (1) an acid component contg.: (a.1.1) 85-100 mole% terephthalic acid or 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid; and (a.1.2) 0-15 mole % of other aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic di- or polycarboxylic acid(s) with 4-14C, and (2) an alcohol component contg.: (a.2.1) 85-100 mole % of a 2-12C satd. aliphatic linear diol; and (a.2.2) 0-15 mole% of other aliphatic or cycloaliphatic di- or polyol(s) with 2-15C, and (b) a polyester reaction prod. of: (1) an acid component contg.: (b.1.1) 85-100 mole% of a satd. aliphatic linear dicarboxylic acid with 4-14C; and (b.1.2) 0-15 mole% of other aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic di- or polycarboxylic acid(s) with 4-14C, and (2) an alcohol component contg.: (b.2.1) 85-100 mole% of 1,4-cyclohexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexane-dimethanol or ethylene glycol; and (b.2.2) 0-15 mole % of other aliphatic or cycloaliphatic di- or polyol(s) with 2-15C. Also claimed are: (i) a process for coating an article; (ii) varnish and paint coating cured by exposure to electron beam radiation ; and (ii) varnish or paint coating cured by exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
