especially n the thermosetting powder coating compositions are heat-curable at
low temperatures on ensitive articles. The invention r relates to a method
for: i) rendering a thermosetting powder coating composition less susceptible to surface
air tion and/or ii) enhancing the physical storage stability of a thermosetting
powder coating composition and/or iii) enhancing the reactivity of a a thermosetting
powder coating composition.
Powder coating compositions (commonly ed to as powders)
which are dry, finely divided, free flowing, solid materials at room temperature and at
atmospheric pressure, have gained considerable popularity in recent years over liquid
coating compositions for a number of reasons. For one powder coatings are user and
environmentally friendly materials since they are virtually free of harmful volatile
c ts carriers that are normally present in liquid coating compositions.
Therefore, powder coatings give off little, if any, volatile materials to the environment
when cured. This eliminates the solvent emission problems associated with liquid
coating compositions such as air pollution and dangers to the health of workers
employed in coating operations. Powder coating compositions are also clean and
convenient to use since they are applied in a clean manner over the substrate because
they are in dry solid form. The powders are easily swept up in the event of a spill and
do not require special cleaning and spill containment supplies, as do liquid coating
compositions. Working hygiene is thus ed. Moreover, powder coating
compositions are ially 100 % recyclable since the sprayed powders can be fully
reclaimed and recombined with fresh powder feed. Recycling of liquid coatings during
ation is often not done, which leads to increased waste and hazardous waste
disposal costs. In addition, powder coating compositions are ready to use, i.e., no
thinning or dilution is required.
Powder coating compositions are lly applied on a substrate via
an electrostatic spray process; the powder coating composition is dispersed in an air
stream and passed through a corona discharge field where the particles e an
electrostatic charge. The charged particles are attracted to and deposited on the
grounded article to be . The article, usually at room temperature, is then placed
in an oven where the powder melts and forms a powder coating. A hybrid process
based on a combination of high voltage electrostatic charging and fluidized-bed
application techniques (electrostatic fluidized bed) has evolved, as well as triboelectric
spray application methods. Powder coating compositions and their process of
application are the preferred coating compositions and process for g many
familiar items such as lawn and garden equipment, patio and other metal furniture,
electrical cabinets, lighting, shelving and store es, and many tive
components. Today, powder coating itions are widely accepted, with nds
of installations in the factories of original equipment manufacturers (OEMS) and
custom coating job shops.
Powder coating compositions can be thermosetting or thermoplastic.
The invention relates to the field of thermosetting powder coating compositions
(TPCC). The preparation of thermosetting powder coating compositions is described by
Misev in "Powder Coatings, try and Technology” (pp. 224-300; 1991, John
Wiley& Sons Ltd.).
Despite their many advantages, powder coatings are generally not
ed in coating heat sensitive substrates, such as wood and plastics. Heat
sensitive ates demand curing at low temperatures for example heat curing at
temperatures as high as 130 °C, to avoid significant substrate degradation and/or
deformation. For instance when wood composites, e.g. particle board, fiber board and
other substrates that comprise a significant amount of wood are heated to the high
curing atures required for traditional powders (typically temperatures higher than
140 °C), the residual re and resinous binders present in the wood composites for
substrate integrity caused to ably evolve from the substrate. Outgassing of the
volatiles during curing, results in severe blisters, craters, pinholes and other surface
defects in the hardened film finish. Furthermore, overheating causes the wood
composites to become brittle, friable, charred and othenNise worsened in al and
chemical properties. This is not acceptable from both a film quality and product
viewpoint.
Low temperature curable powder coatings based on epoxy resins
have been proposed as for example as taught in US 5,714,206; however, curing
agents used to achieve the low ature curing are based on aliphatic amines
which tend to yellow under heat; in addition, epoxy coatings generally do not provide
the durability and weatherability that thermosetting powder coating compositions
comprising rated polyesters and thermal radical initiators e.g. peroxides and are
cured via heat and/or UV radiation, normally provide.
Low temperature UV curable thermosetting powder coating
compositions were proposed for coating heat ive substrates. UV s still
require exposure to heat, which is above either the glass transition temperature (T9) or
melt temperature (Tm) to sufficiently melt and flow out the powders into a continuous
molten film over the substrate prior to UV ion curing which is accomplished by
exposing the molten film to UV radiation and the crosslinking reactions are triggered
with UV radiation rather than heat. Thus, powder coating heat sensitive substrates with
UV radiation curable powders requires a two step process typically comprising the
steps of: i) g the powder coating composition to melt and flow it out onto the
substrate in order to form a continuous film and ii) UV radiate the film formed in order to
harden (cure) it. In principle, heat curing of heat sensitive ates is still desirable
and preferred over UV curing; the reason is that heat curing has the advantage that in
only a one step process that of heating a powder g composition without the use
of additional equipment, for instance equipment that generates UV light or accelerated
electrons, the powder coating composition can be melted and cured onto a substrate.
Heat curing of thermosetting powder g compositions is further
desirable over UV curing because UV curing fails when it comes to powder coat
complex three-dimensional es and heat curing is the only way that powder coating
of complex three-dimensional articles can be accomplished.
WO 03/070794 A1 disclosed a method of making copolymers of vinyl
monomers; the mixture of vinyl monomers was polymerized in the presence of free
radical polymerization initiators such as peroxides; once the vinyl monomers were
polymerized via their vinyl double bonds, they afford saturated copolymers; the
copolymers of WO 03/070794 A1 do not bear nic unsaturations, thus they are not
unsaturated resins comprising ethylenic unsaturations; moreover the copolymers of
WO 03/070794 A1 do not form a composition with free radical polymerization initiators
since the latter are consumed during the polymerization of the vinyl monomers. In
addition, WO 794 A1 does not relate to setting powder coating
itions and it does not disclose thermosetting powder coating compositions as
described herein and as defined by the claims.
EP 2 700 673 A2 (equivalent to A2) disclosed a
modified polyolefin copolymer as an encapsulant for an optoelectronic device.
Polyolefins are the t group of thermoplastics and are well-known ted
polymers of very high molecular weight. The ed polyolefin copolymer has two or
more functional groups, and one of the functional groups is a carboxyl group. The
modified polyolefin copolymer is a graft copolymer in which a) an ethylenically
unsaturated silane compound as a first r, and b) a monomer having an
ethylenically unsaturated double bond as a second monomer are grafted to a
polyolefin. When the modified polyolefin copolymer of EP 2 700 673 A2 is prepared, a
radical initiator may be used. The radical initiator may serve to graft the first r,
for example, an unsaturated silane compound and the second monomer, for example,
acrylic acid, and the like to a polyolefin; during this process the radical initiator is
consumed; the ed polyolefins of EP 2 700 673 A2 are saturated polymers and
they do not bear ethylenic unsaturations; thus they are not unsaturated resins
sing nic unsaturations; moreover the polyolefins of EP 2 700 673 A2 do
not contain unsaturated resins comprising ethylenic unsaturations and a radical initiator
since the latter if used, is consumed during the grafting of the first and second
monomers to the polyolefin. In addition, the compositions of EP 2 700 673 A2 are not
thermosetting powder coating compositions and EP 2 700 673 A2 does not disclose
thermosetting powder coating compositions as described herein and as defined by the
claims.
In recent years, heat curable powder coating compositions that can
be cured at low atures were proposed in ; said publication
provided for a one component heat e powder coating composition comprising a
resin comprising reactive unsaturations and wherein all said ve unsaturations are
carbon carbon double bonds connected directly to an electron withdrawing group, a
thermal initiation system comprising a de chosen from the group of compounds

wherein R1 and R2 each independently stand for an optionally substituted alkyl of 1 to
C-atoms, wherein the 1 to 30 C-atoms do not include the C-atoms of the
substituents or for an optionally substituted aryl of 6 to 18 C-atoms, wherein the 6 to 18
C-atoms do not include the s of the substituents and a co-crosslinker chosen
from the group of vinylethers, vinylesters, vinylamides, itaconates, enamines and
mixtures f. According to the most red peroxide that
reads on formula A was benzoyl peroxide (abbreviated herein as BPO) (see formula
BPO, below). In the Examples of , Luperox® A75 (supplied from
Arkema) was used as benzoyl peroxide.

The one component heat curable powder coating composition of WO
2010/052293 was: i) easily processable in the extruder, ii) partially or fully thermally
cured at low temperatures, for example n 60-130°C, making it suitable for use
for heat-sensitive substrates and iii) storage stable. By storage stable” WO
2010/052293 meant that a powder g composition retains its curing
characteristics, including flow, after storage; effectively by ge
stable” meant the chemical storage stability (CSS) of its compositions. However, WO
2010/052293 does not make any reference to MBPO.
Thermosetting powder coating compositions sing thermal
l initiators and resins comprising unsaturations based on carbon carbon double
bonds connected directly to an electron withdrawing group can undergo rapid
polymerization and curing; however, one of the severe drawbacks with the use of said
thermosetting powder coating compositions is that said thermosetting powder g
itions are ly susceptible to surface air inhibition (or also known as
oxygen inhibition; terms will be used interchangeably herein) during their curing. More
particularly, the free l-induced polymerization or curing reaction of said
thermosetting powder coating compositions is easily inhibited along the surface of the
coating upon contact with air or, more ely oxygen. Atmospheric oxygen, which
contacts only the surface of the coating film, while g the interior unaffected, adds
to the terminal free radical generated on the growing addition polymer and caps it,
thereby halting further polymerization and leaving the surface of the coating cured to a
lesser extend in comparison with the interior of the coating film; this often results in
poorer g surface properties, generally undesirable by the paint manufacturer and
the end user alike.
Various approaches have been taken to minimize surface air
inhibition. For instance, attempts have been made to incorporate polyethylene waxes in
unsaturated polyester powder formulations to provide an oxygen barrier layer on the
films’s surface which is eventually polished off after curing. This approach works well
with liquid coatings; however in powder coatings the rapid curing at low temperatures
does not allow the wax enough time to diffuse and rise to the surface of the film. Higher
wax loadings may be used, but this tends to cause the powders to agglomerate or
sinter during storage and/or to produce an aesthetically unfavorable orange peel finish
when cured. Another approach has been to orate -reactive species in the
coatings, as for example, as taught in WO 93/19132; the latter disclosed low
temperature curable unsaturated polyester powder coatings with a resin system
composed of a mixture of unsaturated polyester resins and allyl ether curatives that is
cured in the ce of free radical peroxide initiators and cobalt salt catalysts. Air
inhibition is prevented by ing oxygen-reactive allyl ether curatives which
consume oxygen before it can interfere with the curing on. However, one
disadvantage of such powders is that the curatives used to get good surface cure are
mostly liquids or waxy (low melting) semi-solids at room temperature. Liquid and semi-
solid materials have only limited use in powder coatings. lly, when employed
beyond a few percent, they tend to cause the s to agglomerate or sinter in
storage, giving the s poor shelf stability and making them difficult to meter and
spray during coating operations. Conversion of such materials into solids is expensive
and time-consuming. Another disadvantage is that the production of these low
temperature curable powders is extremely ult, since they have a tendency to pre-
react and set-up in the extruder during the traditional melt-mixing s.
Another drawback of thermosetting powder coating compositions
comprising thermal radical initiators and resins comprising unsaturations based on
carbon carbon double bonds connected ly to an electron withdrawing group is
that due to their generally high reactivity (rapid curing), their physical storage stability is
rather limited; this drawback is especially pronounced for prolonged storage such as
several weeks; prolonged storage conditions are typically encountered during for
example overseas shipping of powders is rather limited; in these conditions, said
powders need to be stored at rather low temperatures typically lower than 15 0C;
limited/poor al storage stability apart from adding to the complexity of
commercializing such a powder due to special requirements for storage, it is generally
undesirable by the paint manufacturer and the end user alike, since limited/poor
physical storage stability of powder paints results to block or sinter during e
and/or producing an aesthetically undesirable orange peel finish when cured.
It would thus, be desirable and is, therefore, a primary object of the
invention to provide a thermosetting powder coating composition (TPCC) that has any
one of the following properties, alone or in combination with each other:
i) thermosetting powder coating composition is heat e;

least 70 pm at 23 °C and at atmospheric pressure. A particle is defined as a small
object that: a) has mean linear dimensions as described herein after and b) behaves as
a whole unit in terms of its transport and properties. The particle size distribution (PSD)
of a powder is a list of values or a mathematical function that defines the relative
amounts of les present, sorted according to size. The terms “particle size” and
“particle size distribution” will be used interchangeably in the t of the invention
when used in relation to a powder. The method used to measure the particle size of the
thermosetting powder coating compositions of the invention is sieve is.
According to it, the powder is separated on sieves of different sizes. Thus, the PSD is
defined in terms of discrete size ranges: e.g. "weight% of sample powder has particle
size in the range of 75 microns to 90 microns", when sieves of these sizes are used.
Preferably, 90 weight% of the thermosetting powder coating composition of the
invention has a particle size in the range of 20 to 200 micron. The PSD can be
determined for example by the following method: a certain amount of thermosetting
powder coating composition, for example 100 g, is brought onto a Fritsch Analysette
n sieving apparatus equipped with a 200 micron sieve. The sample is sieved for
minutes at a 2.5 mm amplitude. The fraction of the sample which remained on the
sieve was weighed after sieving. The fraction of the sample that went through the sieve
d fraction) is collected and is placed on a 160 micron sieve and is sieved as
mentioned herein above. Once the same measurements (weighing) are performed as
mentioned herein above, the same ure is repeated using sequentially a 140, a
125, a 112, a 100, a 90, a 75, a 50 and a 20 micron sieve; the last sieved fraction with
a size smaller than 20 micron is also weighed. Summing up the various weight
fractions, this should yield the l amount of sample, in this example 100 g. The
various weight fractions represent the PSD as a list of values representing the relative
amounts of les present, sorted according to sieves used.

and curing agent if the latter is present); and
iii) the rest of the components of the comparable TPCC are the same and are
contained in the same amounts when compared to a TPCC according to the invention.
For example, if the TPCC of the invention comprises a first thermal l initiator and
a second thermal radical tor, then -in essence— in a comparable TPCC ing
to the aforementioned definition, only the MBPO should be exchanged for BPO and the
amount of moles of MBPO (moles/Kg UR and curing agent if the latter is present)
should be exchanged for the same amount of moles of BPO (moles/Kg UR and curing

functionality, monomers with amine functionality and/or monomers having a

system to a substrate to let a curing reaction take place. The compositions of the at
least two different powders in the 2K system are usually selected such that each
powder contains a component which is needed for curing but is absent from the other
powder(s). This separation allows preparation of the individual powder composition in a
heated state (such as by melt mixing) without the tion of the cure reaction.

Analytical methods and techniques for the measurement of the properties of the
unsaturated polyester resins comprising ethylenic unsaturations and the vinyl
functionalized urethane resins used as curing agents in the thermosetting powder
coating compositions
Unless othenNise stated the theoretical number average molecular
weight (M) is defined as follows:
Mn: (ZiNiMi)/ (ZiNi)
where N is the number of molecules of molecular weight M.
In the case of the UR, the Mn was calculated by multiplying the
theoretical (targeted) functionality (f) with 56110 and dividing the outcome thereof by
the sum of the theoretical (targeted) acid value (AV) (mg KOH/g UR) and the
theoretical (targeted) hydroxyl value (OHV) (mg KOH/g UR) according to the following
equation EX1a:
Mn: (56110 x f) /(AV+OHV)
(EX1a)
EX1a applies analogously for the calculation of the Mn of any UR as bed herein
when the theoretical f, theoretical AV and theoretical OHV are available. If the
theoretical values of AV, OHV are not available, then the Mn can be calculated
according to EX1a by ing in EX1a the measured values of AV and OHV and
wherein in this casef is calculated from analytical data on the chemical composition of
the UR, said analutical data being obtained from analytical techniques e.g. NMR
spectroscopy, well-known to one skilled in the art.
In the case of the VFUR, the Mn was calculated by the ing
on EX1:
?=1(Ni * MWi) — MH20
NVFUR
(EX1)
whereas
N, = mol of each monomer used for the preparation of the VFUR;
MW, = Mn (Da) of each monomer used for the preparation of the VFUR;
MHZO = mass (g) of water formed during the preparation of the VFUR;
NVFUR = mol of VFUR prepared from said monomers.
EX1 s analogously for determing the Mn of any curing agent as
described herein, wherein Ni, MWi, MHZO, NVFURin EX1, would stand for:
N, = mol of each monomer used for the preparation of the curing agent;
MW, = Mn (Da) of each monomer used for the preparation of the curing agent;
MHZO = mass (g) of a by-product produced during the preparation of said curing agent,
for example water or l e.g. methanol, ethanol, ing on the chemical
composition of said curing agent;
NVFUR = mol of curing agent prepared from said monomers.
In case Mn refers to a r then the Mn corresponds to molecular
weight values calculated on the basis of the molecular formula of said monomer, as
such calculation is known to one skilled in the art.
_g4_
Melt viscosity (herein mentioned as viscosity, in Pa.s) measurements
were carried out at 160°C on a ield CAP 2000+H Viscometer. The applied shear-
rate was 70 s'1 and a 19.05 mm spindle [cone spindle CAP-S—05 (19.05 mm, 1.8°)] was
used.
The acid and hydroxyl values of the unsaturated resins sing
ethylenic unsaturations (UR) that were unsaturated ter resins comprising 2-
butenedioic acid ethylenic unsaturations, were determined titrimetrically according to
ISO 2114-2000 and ISO 4629-1978; in addition the targeted (theoretical) acid and
hydroxyl values of said resins were also reported herein.
1H-N MR method for the measurement of the WPU (1H-N MR method WPU)
The WPU was measured via 1H-NMR spectroscopy according to the
method entitled —for simplicity- “1H-NMR method WPU” which is presented herein. The
estimated margin of error of this method for determining the WPU is +/- 2 %; the
margin of error was determined on the basis of measuring three samples of the same
lot of a VFUR or UR.
More specifically, said WPU was measured via 1H-N MR spectroscopy
as explained herein after and it was calculated ing to the ing equation EX2:
— 7]
WP)” 1 Ac:c /Nc:c
WPU =
W MW
resin pyr AW /NW
(EX2)
Wpyr is the weight of pyrazine (internal standard),
Wresin is the weightof UR such as an unsaturated polyester resin comprising 2-
butenedioic acid ethylenic unsaturations, or the weight of a curing agent such as a
VFUR; Wpyr and Wresin are expressed in the same units.
MWpyr is the molecular weight of the pyrazine (= 80 Da) (internal standard).
Apyr is the peak area for methine protons ed to the aromatic ring of pyrazine and
prr is the number of the methine protons of pyrazine (= 4).
In case of a UR:
AC=C is the peak area for e protons (...-CH=...) of the ethylenic unsaturations
(>C=C<) of the UR; chc is the number of methine protons (...-CH=...) attached to the
ethylenic rations (>C=C<) of the UR.
In case of a VFUR:
AC=C is the peak area for the methine proton (...-CH=...) of the vinyl groups (...-
CH=CH2) in the VFUR; NC=C is the number of methine s (...-CH=... ) of the vinyl
groups (...-CH=CH2) in the VFUR.
The peak areas of the e protons of pyrazine and methine
s (...-CH=... ) of the nic unsaturations (>C=C<) of the UR in EX2 were
measured as follows: A sample of 75 mg of UR was diluted at 25 °C in 1 ml ated
chloroform containing a known amount (mg) of pyrazine as internal standard for
performing 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Subsequently, the 1H-NMR spectrum of the UR
sample was recorded at 25 °C on a 400 MHz BRUKER NMR-spectrometer.
Afterwards, the chemical shifts (ppm) of the methine protons of pyrazine and the
methine protons H=... ) of the ethylenic unsaturations (>C=C<) of the UR were
identified; the chemical shifts (ppm) of the methine protons of pyrazine and the methine
protons (...-CH=... ) of the ethylenic rations (>C=C<) of the UR in EX2
measured on a 400 MHz BRUKER ectrometer in methanol and deuterated
chloroform were at about 8.6 and at about 6.4-6.9 ppm, tively. Subsequently,
with the help of suitable commercially available software for analyzing 1H-NMR spectra
such as ACD/Spectrus Processor software provided by ACD/Labs, the peak areas of
the methine protons of pyrazine and methine protons (...-CH=...) of the ethylenic
unsaturations (>C=C<) of the UR of EX2 were measured and from these values the
WPU was determined according to EX2.
In case in which 75 mg of a UR is not soluble at 25 °C in 1 ml of
deuterated chloroform, then any other suitable solvent or mixture of solvents known to
the skilled person for performing the 1H-NMR spectroscopy may be used; for example
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), pyridine, tetra-chloro ethane, and mixtures thereof.. The
choice of a suitable solvent or a mixture of suitable ts depends on the solubility
of the sample of the UR in said ts. In case in which 75 mg of UR is soluble in 1
mL of deuterated chloroform at 25 °C, then deuterated chloroform is the solvent of
choice for performing the 1H-NMR spectroscopy for the UR. In case in which a different
solvent or mixture of solvents is used for performing the 1H-NMR Method WPU, then
the chemical shifts of the protons of EX2 may shift from the ones ed here for the
selected solvents for the 1H-NMR Method WPU since the actual chemical shifts may
depend on the solvent or e of solvents used to record the 1H-NMR spectrum; in
such case one should identify and determine the chemical shifts of the corresponding
s and apply EX2 for the determination of WPU.
The peak areas of the e protons of pyrazine and methine
protons (...-CH=...) of the vinyl groups (...-CH=CH2) in the VFUR of EX2 were
measured as follows: A sample of 75 mg of VFUR was d at 40 °C in a mixture of
0.200 ml ol and 0.600 ml deuterated chloroform containing a known amount
(mg) of pyrazine as internal standard for performing 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
Subsequently, the 1H-NMR spectrum of the VFUR sample was recorded at 40 °C on a
400 MHz BRUKER NMR-spectrometer. AftenNards, the al shifts (ppm) of the
methine s of pyrazine and the methine protons (...-CH=... ) of the vinyl groups
(...-CH=CH2) in the VFUR were identified; the chemical shifts (ppm) of the methine
protons of pyrazine and methine protons H=... ) of the vinyl groups (...-CH=CH2)
in the VFUR of EX2 were measured on a 400 MHz BRUKER NMR-spectrometer in
methanol and deuterated chloroform were at about 8.6 and at about 6.4-6.5 ppm,
tively. Subsequently, with the help of le commercially available re
for analyzing 1H-NMR spectra such as ACD/Spectrus Processor software provided by
ACD/Labs, the peak areas of the e protons of pyrazine and methine protons (...-
) of the vinyl groups (...-CH=CH2) in the VFUR of EX2 were measured and from
these values the WPU was determined according to EX2.
In case in which 75 mg of a VFUR are not soluble at 40 °C in a
mixture of 0.200 ml methanol and 0.600 ml deuterated chloroform, then any other
suitable solvent or mixture of ts known to the skilled person for performing the
1H-N MR spectroscopy may be used; for example DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), pyridine,
tetra-chloro ethane, and mixtures thereof. The choice of a suitable solvent or a mixture
of suitable solvents depends on the solubility of the sample of the VFUR in said
solvents. In case in which 75 mg of VFUR are soluble in a mixture of 0.200 ml
methanol and 0.600 ml deuterated chloroform at 40 °C, then a mixture of methanol and
deuterated chloroform is the solvent of choice for performing the 1H-NMR
oscopy for the VFU R.
In case in which a different solvent or mixture of solvents is used for
performing the 1H-NMR Method WPU, then the chemical shifts of the protons of EX2
may shift from the ones reported here for the selected solvents for the 1H-NMR Method
WPU since the actual chemical shifts may depend on the solvent or mixture of solvents
used to record the 1H-NMR spectrum; in addition, one may perform the measurement
at different temperature than the one disclosed herein, for example the measurement
can be performed at higher temperature than the one disclosed herein in order to
solubilize the sample intended to be analyzed for measuring its WPU according to this
method and/or may use a lower amount of sample e.g. 25 mg, depending on the
resolution of the NMR instrument; in such case one should identify and determine the
chemical shifts of the corresponding protons and apply EX2 for the determination of
WPU.
The method -as described herein- for the measurement of the WPU
of the samples mentioned in the Examples, applies ously for any UR and any
curing agent, taking of course into account common general knowledge in performing
and analyzing results of NMR spectroscopy, the particular chemical nature of the UR or
the curing agent and the skills of one skilled in the art of NMR spectroscopy; for
example, the chemical shifts may be somewhat shifted from the ones disclosed herein,
and/or the temperatures used to perform the measurement ent e.g. higher than
the ones disclosed , or the amount of the sample used can be lower e.g. 25 mg,
depending on the resolution of the NMR instrument; in such case one should identify
and determine the chemical shifts of the ponding s and apply EX2 for the
determination of WPU.

FT-IR method for the measurement of the sensitivity (8) of the TPCC to surface air
inhibition (FT-IR Method 8)
A. Description of the method and definitions
The sensitivity of TPCC to surface air inhibition (abbreviated herein as S) is ated
according to the following equation E1:
8 = Rair/ Rsub (equation E1)
The Raw and the Rsub are as defined and explained in this section A.
8 provides a measure of the sensitivity of a TPCC to surface air
inhibition; it is calculated as shown herein and these measurements are carried out on
cured films having a thickness of 80:5 pm, said cured films are powder coatings
derived upon curing of TPCC (120 °C for 10 min) in air; thus, the curing conditions that
are to be applied for the curing of TPCC and thus the assessment/measurement of S
are: 120 °C for 10 min, in air and said ment/measurement of 8 should be d
out on cured films having a thickness of 80:5 pm. The lower the S, the fewer are the
remaining unsaturations present on the surface of the cured film compared to the
unsaturations on the substrate side of the cured film, and as such the least sensitive is
the TPCC to surface air inhibition during curing.
In order for meaningfully assess the S of TPCC, the latter needs to be
comparable in terms of their composition.
The S is calculated from FT-IR measurements carried out on
thermosetting powder coatings prepared according to processes disclosed in this
application, parameters of said processes and compositions should be such to enable
comparisons n samples. Once a powder coating is prepared on a substrate,
said coating is released from the substrate on which it was cured on, affording a free
standing film with two distinct sides, namely:
Surface air side (Sair): this side of the film was in contact with air
during curing; and
Surface substrate side (Ssub): this side of the film was in contact with
the substrate, thus it had no contact with air.
Subsequently, a FT-IR spectrum of each of the two sides, Sair and
Ssub is recorded on a Digilab Excalibur infrared spectrometer, using a Golden gate ATR
accessory from Specac. FT-IR spectra are taken using a resolution of 4 cm'1, over a
range of 700 cm'1 to 4000 cm'1 for 64 scans; the a are processed via Varian
Resolutions Pro software version 5.1. The FT-IR spectrum recorded for the Sair is
abbreviated as FT-IRSair and the one recorded for the Ssub is abbreviated as FT-leSub_
From the FT-IRSairthe following are ed:
Hunsaton Sair; and the
Hrefon Sair
The Rai, shown in equation E1 is ated according to the ing
equation E2:
Rair= Hunsat on Sair lHref on Sair (equation E2)
From the FT-IRSSub the following are measured:
HrefonSsub; and the
Hunsat on Ssub-
The Rsub shown in equation E1 is calculated according to the
following equation E3:
Rsub = Hunsat on Ssub/ Hrefon Ssub (equation E3)
g the values for the R3,, and Rsub in equation E1, the S is
calculated.
By “HunsatonSai,” is meant herein the FT-IR peak height of the
absorption peaks (mentioned herein for simplicity “peak” or “peaks”) attributed to
stretching vibration of the carbon carbon double bond of the ing unsaturations
on Sair-
By “HunsatonsSub” is meant herein the FT-IR peak height of the
absorption peaks (mentioned herein for simplicity “peak” or “peaks”) uted to the
hing vibration of the carbon carbon double bond of the remaining unsaturations
on Ssub.
By “remaining unsaturations” (for the purpose of this method) is
meant herein the ethylenic unsaturations attributed to the UR and —where applicable-
the unsaturations of the curing agent, being present upon curing of the TPCC; thus, the
“remaining unsaturations” refer to the cured TPCC, that is the thermosetting powder
coating.
In case in which, the TPCC comprises only one UR and no curing
agent, then the HunsatonSair or the HunsatonSSub is the peak height of the peak attributed to
the ethylenic unsaturations of the UR; in case in which the TPCC comprises more than
one UR and no curing agent, then the onSair or the HunsatonSSub is the sum of the
peak heights of the peaks (or peak if peaks are overlapping) attributed to the ethylenic
unsaturations of each UR; in case in which the TPCC comprises one or more UR and
also one or more curing agents, for example a vinyl ether functionalized urethane, then
the HunsatonSairor the HunsatonSSub is the sum of the peak height of the peaks (or peak if
peaks are overlapping) attributed to the ethylenic unsaturations of each of the UR and
the unsaturations of each of the curing agents.
“R3,,” is as defined in this section A.
“Rsub” is as defined in this section A.
By “Hrefonsmr” is meant herein the rereference FT-lR peak height on
83”. The reference peak is chosen ing to the following criteria:
a) it can be any peak recorded in the FT-lRSair or in the FT-lRSSub that remains
substantially unchanged, ably unchanged by the cure of the TPCC and
is recorded at any wavelength from 2400 up until and including 1000 cm'1; and
b) the reference peak must have an tion that is at least equal to the Hunsat
ms," and at most equal to ten times the HunsatonSair;
c) the reference peak in the FT-lRSair and in the FT-IRSSub must be the same.
As it was said herein above, in order for meaningfully assess the S of
TPPC, the latter need to be comparable in terms of their composition; thus, the chosen
reference peak according to the above mentioned criteria must also be the same for
any comparison of the S, of comparable TPCC.
B. FT-lR method 8 for the thermosetting powder gs CompPC1-5 and |nvPC1-5
A series of thermosetting powder gs CompPC1-5 and |nvPC1-5
were prepared ing to the procedure described in the Examples under
“Preparation of the powder coatings CompPC1-5 and |nvPC1-5”. Once the powder
coatings were prepared on the ates (their corresponding TPPC were cured at
120 °C for 10 minutes in an air-circulation oven as indicated in the ration of the
powder coatings 1-5 and |nvPC1-5”; thus, the curing conditions that were
applied for the curing of TPCC and thus the assessment/measurement of S were: 120
°C for 10 min in air); said coatings were released from the substrates on which they
were cured on, affording free ng films. The FT-IR method 8 as described herein
above was applied in order to calculate the S for each of the CompPC1-5 and lnvPC1-
Forthe CompPCC1-3 and lnvPCC1-3:
the HunsatonSairand the HunsatonsSub were each measured as a sum of the peak
heights of the peaks at 1640 cm'1 (attributed to the UR) and 1615 cm'1
(attributed to the curing agent); and
b) the HrefonSairand the HrefonsSub were each measured as the peak height of the
peak at 1372 cm'1.
For the CompPCC4-5 and lnvPCC4-5:
the HunsatonSairand the HunsatonsSub were each measured as a sum of the peak
heights of the peaks at 1640 cm'1 (attributed to the UR) and 1615 cm'1
(attributed to the curing agent); and
b) the HrefonSairand the HrefonsSub were each ed as the peak height of the
peak at 1455 cm'1.
Once Raw and Rsub were calculated from equations E2 and E3
respectively, subsequently S was calculated from equation E1.
For each of the CompPC1-5 and lnvPC1-5 the S values are reported
in Table 3.
Method to determine ce of unreacted —N=C=O groups (free isocyanate )
(Method NCO)
An FT-IR spectrum was recorded on a Digilab Excalibur infrared
spectrometer, using a Golden gate ATR accessory from Specac. FT-IR spectra were
taken using a resolution of 4 cm'1, over a range of 700 cm'1 to 4000 cm'1 over 64 scans
and processed with Varian Resolutions pro software version 5.1. A characteristic peak
for unreacted —N=C=O groups can be found around 2250 cm'1; the presence of this
peak is tive of unreacted —N=C=O groups (free isocyanate ).
Measurements and assessment of properties of the thermosetting powder coating
compositions
The T9 of the thermosetting powder coating composition was
measured after extrusion according to the DSC method mentioned herein.
The physical storage stability (PSS) of the thermosetting powder
coating compositions of the present invention was tested at 23 °C for 7 weeks (for
s see Table 3). Prior to assessing the PSS the thermosetting powder coating
ition was left to cool down to room temperature for about 2-3 hours. The
greater the extend of agglomeration or sintering the poorer the PSS, thus the lower its
ranking according to the following scale.The extent of agglomeration was visually
assessed and ranked according to the following rating on a 1-10 scale (1 representing
the worst PSS and 10 the best P88):
: No change.
9: No agglomeration, very good fluidity.
8: No agglomeration, good fluidity.
7: Very low agglomeration; agglomeration can be dispersed by one light tap into a fine
powder.
6: Very low agglomeration; agglomeration can be dispersed by several taps into a fine
powder.
: Low agglomeration; agglomeration can be dispersed by hand pressure into a fine
powder.
4: Low agglomeration; agglomeration cannot be sed by hand pressure in a fine
powder.
3: Severe agglomeration into l large lumps, material is pourable.
2: Severe agglomeration into several large lumps, material is not pourable.
1: product sintered to one lump, volume reduced.
In addition, the PSS of CompPCCZ-5 and lnvPCCZ-5 was also tested
at 30 °C for 7 weeks according to the above method; the PSS of any one of
CompPCCZ-5 upon storage at 30 °C for 7 weeks was equal to 3; the PSS of any one of
lnvPCCZ-5 upon storage at 30 °C for 7 weeks was equal to 6.
Chemical stora e stabilit CSS
The al storage stability (CSS) of the thermosetting powder
coating composition of the present invention was determined on TPCC. The TPCC is
tested on smoothness, Tpeakcuring and Tonsetcuring. Smoothness is described under
“Methods for the measurement of ties of the powder coatings derived upon heat-
curing of the setting powder coating compositions prepared herein”.
Smoothness is ined on panels prepared using freshly made powder and powder
stored under lled climatized conditions of 40 °C for 72 hours.
Tpeakcming and Tonsetcuring were determined as described herein
on freshly ed powders, stored powder under controlled climatized conditions of
40 °C for 72 hours.
Methods for the measurement of properties of the powder coatings derived upon heat-
curing of the thermosetting powder coating compositions prepared herein.
The properties of the powder coatings 1-5 and lnvPC1-5
derived upon heat-curing of their corresponding thermosetting powder coating
compositions (CompPCCl-5 and lnvPCC1-5) were measured on the panels that they
were applied on (see also “Preparation of the powder coatings CompPCl-5 and
-5”)
Smoothness (flow)
Smoothness (or also known in the art as flow) of powder coatings
derived upon cure of the corresponding heat-curable thermosetting powder coating
compositions was determined by comparing the smoothness of the coating with PCI
Powder Coating Smoothness panels (ACT Test Panels lnc., APR22163 (A) Batch:
50708816) at a thickness of approximately 80 pm. The rating of smoothness is from 1
to 10, with 1 representing the roughest coating and 10 representing the smoothest
coating.
Acetone Double Rubs ADR of Com PC1-5 and lnv1-5 said owder coatin s were
derived upon heat curing of the CompPCCl-5 and lnvPCC1-5 tively, at 120 °C
for 20 min.
With one aceton double rub (ADR) is meant one continuous back and
fonNard movement, in a cycle time of about one second, over the surface of a powder
g having a thickness of imately 80 um using a cotton cloth drenched in
acetone, which cotton cloth covers a hammer head having a weight of about 980
grams and a contact surface area with the powder coating of about 2 cm2. Every 10
rubs the cloth was drenched in e. The measurement was d out at room
temperature, and it was med on coatings that were left at room temperature for
24-48 hours;the ement was continued either till the coating was removed and
the number of ADR at which the coating was removed was reported, or until 100 ADR
were reached.A result reported as 100 ADR indicates that there was coating left after
100 ADR; in the exceptional case that the coating was removed at the 100th stroke,
then this result is reported as 100/0 ADR.
In case in which one may wish to perform more than 100 ADR, he
may do so by applying the same methodology and reporting as described in the case
of performing a maximum of 100 ADR.
Each of the CompPC1-5 and lnvPC1-5 powder coatings had 100
ADR (curing conditions of their corresponding powder coating compositions 120 oC/20
min); therefore, inventive thermosetting powder coating compositions lnvPCC1-5 were
heat curable at low temperatures, thus thus being le for coating heat-sensitive
articles.

As it can be noticed from Table 3, the ing pairs of examples of
TPCC shown in Table 3 have an equal amount of moles of thermal radical initiator:
a) |nvPCC1 and CompPCC1 [amount of thermal radical initiator 92 mmol/kg
UR1+VFUR3];
b) lnvPCCZ and CompPCCZ [amount of thermal radical initiator 200 mmol/kg
UR2+VFUR2]
c) lnvPCCB and CompPCCB [amount of thermal radical initiator 200 mmol/kg
UR2+VFUR2];
d) lnvPCC4 and CompPCC4 [amount of thermal radical initiator 100 mmol/kg
UR3+VFUR1];
e) S and CompPCCS [amount of thermal radical initiator 100 mmol/kg
UR3+VFUR1].
In the t of this invention, and in order to assess the s
properties mentioned herein, the CompPCC1 was the comparable TPCC ition,
for the lnvPCC1, e said CompPCC1 comprised BPO instead of MBPO as a first
thermal radical initiator and moreover the amount of moles BPO in the CompPCC1 was
equal to the amount of moles MBPO in the lnvPCC1; as per the rest of the components
of each of the CompPCC1 and lnvPCC1, said components were the same and
ned in the same s in each of said compositions. Equally, CZ was
the able TPCC composition for the lnvPCCZ; CompPCC3 was the comparable
TPCC composition for the lnvPCCB; CompPCC4 was the comparable TPCC
composition for the lnvPCC4; CompPCCS was the comparable TPCC composition for
the lnvPCCS.
Each of lnvPCC1-5 and CompPCC1-5 were heat curable at low
temperatures since their corresponding powder coatings (InvPC1-5 and CompPC1-5)
derived upon curing of the lnvPCC1-5 and CompPCC1-5 at 120 °C for 20 min, had 100
ADR.
In addition to the results on properties shown in Table 3, the CSS of
CompPCC1 and |nvPCC1 were assessed according to the method bed herein,
The CSS results of CompPCC1 were:
Onset temperature prior to storage: 111 °C
Onset temperature upon storage: 114 °C
Peak temperature prior to storage: 121 °C
Peak temperature upon storage: 123 °C
The smoothness (flow) of CompPC1 was not ed by the storage at 40 °C for 72
hours; the smoothness of CompPC1 prior to storage (40 °C for 72 hours) was PCI 2
and it remained PCI 2 upon storage (40 °C for 72 hours).
Here, it needs to be stressed that CompPCC1 is a duplicate of
example 3.3 (Table 7) disclosed in .
The CSS results of lnvPCC1 were:
Onset temperature prior to storage: 110 °C
Onset temperature upon storage: 110 °C
Peak temperature prior to storage: 117 °C
Peak temperature upon storage: 117 °C
The ness (flow) of lnvPC1 was not ed by the e at 40 °C for 72
hours; the smoothness of lnvPC1 prior to storage (40 °C for 72 hours) was PCI 2 and it
ed PCI 2 upon storage (40 °C for 72 .
From these CSS data it becomes clear that the change in Tonsetcuring of
the lnvPCC1 before and after storage at 40 °C for 72 hours, was lower than the change
in Tonsetcuring of CompPCC1; thus lnvPCC1 had enhanced CSS over the CompPCC1.
In view of the results shown in Table 3 and the results regarding the
CSS, only the thermosetting powder coating compositions according to the invention of
claim 1 (lnvPCC1-5) singly combined an array of properties such as said:
i) thermosetting powder coating compositions were heat curable;
ii) thermosetting powder coating compositions were less susceptible to surface
air inhibition without the need for waxes or oxygen-reactive curatives, since
each of the 1-5 had significantly lower 8 values when compared to the
S values of their comparable CompPCC1-5; more specifically:
a) the 8 value for the lnvPCC1 was 67.4 % of the 8 value for the
CompPCC1;
b) the 8 value for the lnvPCC2 was 76.1 % of the 8 value for the
CompPCCZ;
c) the 8 value for the lnvPCC3 was 61.1 % of the 8 value for the
CompPCCB;
d) the 8 value for the lnvPCC4 was 82.3 % of the 8 value for the
CompPCC4;
e) the 8 value for the lnvPCCS was 75.6 % of the 8 value for the
CompPCCS;
iii) thermosetting powder coating compositions had enhanced chemical storage
stability (for reasons explained herein above);
iv) setting powder coating compositions had enhanced physical storage
ity since each of the lnvPCC1-5 had higher PSS values when compared
to the PSS values of their comparable CompPCC1-5 (see definition for
“enhanced physical storage stability”);
v) setting powder coating compositions were extrudable;
vi) thermosetting powder coating compositions were heat curable at low
temperatures, thus they were suitable for coating heat-sensitive articles;
vii) thermosetting powder g compositions had enhanced reactivity since
each of the lnvPCC1-5 had higher Achnng values when compared to the
Achring Values of their comparable CompPCC1-5 (see tion for “enhanced
reactivity”).
Especially, the unique combination of properties ii), iii), iv), v), vi) and
vii) achieved by the thermosetting powder g compositions according to the
invention of claim 1 was particularly surprising, contributing at the same time a great
deal in the advancement of logy of thermosetting powder gs.
Therefore, as it can be seen from the Examples in Table 3 and the
CSS results thermosetting powder coating compositions combining the array of
properties i)-vii) mentioned in the preceding paragraph, can only be prepared from a
thermosetting powder coating composition according to claim 1.
