A pigmented powder coating composition comprises:
(a) a resin component comprising (1) from about 50 wt.% to about 90 wt.% vinylidene fluoride/hexafluoropropylene copolymer resin having a melt viscosity of from about 1 to about 4 kilopoise measured at 100 sec⁻¹ and 232°C, and (2) from about 10 wt.% to about 50 wt.% of at least one thermoplastic acrylic resin, and (b) a pigment component comprising from about 5 to about 30 parts of at least one pigment, per 100 parts by weight of the resin component.
The powder coating composition is prepared by pelletizing the mixture components, cryogenically grinding the pellets, and classifying the particles.

Abstract:
Polymeric flame retardants comprise halogenated aromatic compounds having acylamino functional groups which are chemically bonded to cyclic imide-containing or imide-forming polymers or copolymers, which polymeric flame retardants have, e.g., the following Formula 1 or II: in which the units occur, e.g., in the polymer backbone; R1 and R2 are, e.g., hydrogen; and G is a flame retardant group attached to the unit by an acylamino functional group having linked thereto a halogenated aromatic ring. The polymeric flame retardants are prepared by the reaction of halogenated aromatics containing a reactive hydrazido group with some or all of the anhydride groups of an cyclic alpha,beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride polymer or copolymer to form pendant halogenated-aromatic-substituted imide or amic acid groups. In addition, polymeric flame retardants are used to render thermoplastic resins less flammable under conditions which promote combustion. Novel flame retardant hydrazides are disclosed.

Abstract:
Organotin catalysts containing at least one direct oxygen-to-tin bond and one direct carbon-to-tin bond, e.g. hydroxybutyltin oxide, monobutyltin tris (2-ethylhexanoate), dibutyltin oxide, are use as esterification catalysts in the production of polyester and polyester-containing compositions and articles. Articles made from such polyester and polyester-containing compositions have low extractable toxicity and are suitable for use in regulated food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and medical-device applications.
Abstract:
What is described herein is a liquid U.V. stabilizer composition and process for effectively surface modifying a PVC resinous body to provide a stabilizing amount of U.V. stabilizer within the surface region of the body within a predetermined solution contact time without leaving an appreciable amount of solvent therein or stabilizer on the surface of the body, and without affecting the surface appearance of the modified surface of the body. In one form of the invention, the U.V. stabilizer composition comprises about 10 to 50 wt/vol%, preferably 15 to 35 wt/vol%, of a U.V. stabilizer dissolved in a mixture of methylene chloride and a liquid fluorochloro hydrocarbon. Suitably the methylene chloride component of the solvent mixture comprises about 40 to 99%, preferably about 50 to 85%, and the fluorochloro hydrocarbon component comprises about 1 to 60%, preferably about 15 to 50%, of the solvent mixture. A preferred fluorochloro hydrocarbon is 1,1,2-trifluoro-1,2,2-trichloroethylene.
Abstract:
Acrylic coating resins with attached light stabilizer functional groups are provided, which resins are prepared by reacting light stabilizer hydrazides, LS-C(=O)-NR³-NH₂, with an acrylic prepolymer containing at least two different types of reactive functional groups, one of which is a hydroxyalkyl ester group and the other is carboxyl, anhydride, epoxy or isocyanate. LS is a light stabilizer moiety, e.g., of formula
wherein R³ is, e.g., hydrogen and R¹⁵ is, e.g., a direct bond. The reaction may be carried out in an inert solvent or in the bulk state. The acrylic resins so produced are particularly useful in the stabilization of enamel or lacquer coatings and exhibit outstanding weatherability and durability. As a result of being chemically bound, the light stabilizers are resistant to loss due to volatility and extractability during typical coatings bake operations and exposure to the elements of weather.
