A fluororesin powder coating composition having high light resistance and
being excellent in blocking resistance and smoothness of the coating film
when coated, and a fluororesin powder to be used for a powder coating
material, are presented.The fluororesin powder coating composition is
made by using as the main material resin a composite fluorinated
copolymer powder having a core/shell structure wherein core particles are
made of a fluorinated copolymer and their surfaces are covered by e.g. a
(meth)acrylate resin having a glass transition temperature higher than
that of the core particles. The core/shell structure is formed by seed
polymerization wherein fluorinated polymer particles are used as seeds.
