Abstract

The invention relates to a one component heat curable powder coating composition comprising a resin containing reactive unsaturations and wherein all said reactive unsaturations are carbon carbon double bonds connected directly to an electron withdrawing group, a thermal initiation system comprising a peroxide chosen from the group of compounds represented by formula (1)

wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently stand for an optionally substituted alkyl of 1 to 30 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 C-atoms of the substituents, and a co-crosslinker chosen from the group of vinylethers, vinyletherurethanes, vinylesters, vinylamides, itaconates, enamines, vinylureas and mixtures thereof.

(ii) a thermal initiation system comprising a peroxide chosen from the group consisting of compounds represented by formula (1)

wherein
R 1 and R 2 each independently stand for an optionally substituted alkyl of 1 to 30 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, and wherein the 6 to 18 C-atoms do not include the C-atoms of the substituents, and
(iii) a co-crosslinker having a weight per unsaturation (WPU) as determined using 1 H-NMR higher than 150 and lower than 870 g/mole, said crosslinker being chosen from the group consisting of vinylethers, vinyletherurethanes, vinylesters, vinylamides, itaconates, enamines, vinylureas and mixtures thereof, wherein
all of the reactive unsaturations are carbon-carbon double bonds connected directly to an electron withdrawing group and are reactive towards radicals generated by the peroxide, and wherein
