The present invention provides a low temperature curing coating powder composition
comprising a mixture of a high gloss film-forming system and a low gloss film-forming
system. Preferably, the high gloss film-forming system comprises a GMA (glycidyl
methacrylate) resin, a curing agent, and a catalyst and forms a coating having
a gloss greater than 80% measured at 60. Preferably the low gloss film-forming
system comprises a carboxyl terminated polyester, acrylic resin and a catalyst
and forms a coating having a gloss less than 50% measured at 60. The composition
of the present invention provides coatings having a control gloss, which can range
from a low to a high gloss and is useful for coating heat-sensitive substrates.
