Low-cure powder coating compositions are disclosed, comprising at least
one epoxy-containing resin and/or at least one siloxane-containing resin,
and at least one material having the structure ##STR00001## wherein
R.sub.1 is an organic radical having 6 to 25 carbon atoms; each R.sub.2
is independently a multivalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon
atoms; Y is ##STR00002## each R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently
alkyl or aryl groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; each Z is independently
oxygen or nitrogen; R.sub.5 is absent when Z is oxygen and R.sub.5 is
hydrogen, an alkyl or aryl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or
(Y).sub.a--R.sub.2-- when Z is nitrogen; a and b are integers; a is at
least 1; b is 1 to 3; and (b) at least one epoxy-containing resin and/or
at least one siloxane-containing resin. The material can optionally be
reacted with an acidic hydrogen-containing compound. Some compositions
are curable without using crosslinking agents or accelerators. Methods
for coating a substrate using these compositions, the coated substrates,
and additional catalysts useful for the same purpose are also disclosed.
