Patent ID: 7652110

Claim:
A powder coating composition comprising: a fluorinated copolymer (X) having a glass transition point of at least 50° C. and a number average molecular weight of from 10,000 to 22,000, and a curing agent (Y), wherein the fluorinated copolymer (X) is a copolymer obtained by polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising: (A) from 45 to 55 mol % of chlorotrifluoroethylene and/or tetrafluoroethylene, (B) from 2 to 40 mol % of a vinyl ether which has a C 4 or 5 alkyl group containing a tertiary carbon atom, (C) from 5 to 20 mol % of a vinyl ether having a crosslinkable functional group and (E) from 1 to 32 mol % of a vinyl ester which has a C 3-5 alkyl group containing a tertiary or higher carbon atom, wherein the total content of (B) and (E) is from 30 to 50 mol %, and the curing agent (Y) is reactive with the crosslinkable functional group.
