Patent ID: 7624802

Claim:
Free flowing coated particles having a particle size range of about 6 mesh to about 200 mesh, each particle comprising: a substrate selected from the group consisting of: a particulate substrate comprising an inorganic material and optionally an at least partially cured coating, a particulate substrate comprising an organic material and optionally an at least partially cured coating, a composite particle comprising a substantially homogeneous formed particle comprising a first portion of a binder and filler particles dispersed throughout said first portion of binder, wherein said first portion is at least partly cured, wherein the particle size of the filler particles ranges from about 0.5 to about 60 μm; and a hybrid particle comprising a composite layer disposed on an inorganic particulate core, the composite layer comprising an at least partially cured organic coating and filler particles, wherein the particle size of the filler particles ranges from about 0.5 to about 60 μm; and a coating disposed upon the substrate, the coating comprising a continuous phase comprising curable resole phenolic-formaldehyde resin and comprising reactive powder particles embedded or adhered to the continuous phase, wherein the reactive powder particles comprise at least one member of the group consisting of resole phenolic-formaldehyde resin, novolak phenolic-formaldehyde resin, polyester, acrylic and urethane.
