Powder coating compositions are disclosed which comprise a blend of coreactable, thermosettable copolymers one of which has at least two different functional groups while the other is qualitatively monofunctional and quantitatively polyfunctional. Ordinarily, the polymer having at least two different functional groups, will be quantitatively polyfunctional and qualitatively difunctional although it may contain more than two different functional groups. In the preferred embodiments, the first or difunctional copolymer of the blend has either (1) epoxy functionality and amide functionality, (2) epoxy functionality and hydroxy functionality, (3) carboxy functionality and amide functionality, or (4) carboxy functionality and hydroxy functionality and is crosslinkable with the second copolymer through at least two different types of functional groups on the first copolymer. The second copolymer has only one type of functionality that is crosslinkable with the functional groups on the first copolymer and may be termed the monofunctional copolymer although it is quantitatively polyfunctional. The second copolymer may have as its functionality (1) anhydride functionality, (2) carboxy functionality or (3) epoxy functionality.

Powder coating compositions are disclosed which, exclusive of pigments and other nonreactive components, comprise a coreactive mixture of: (A) a copolymer of between about 8 and about 30 weight percent of a glycidyl ester of a monoethylenically unsaturated acid and between about 92 and about 70 weight percent of other monoethylenically unsaturated monomers, said copolymer having a glass transition temperature in the range of 40. degree. C to 90. degree. C and a number average molecular weight (M. sub. n) in the range of about 2500 to about 8500; and (B) a carboxyl terminated crosslinking agent in the amount of 0. 8 to 1. 2 carboxyl groups for each epoxy group in the copolymer.
