Claims
- 1. Method for making matt finish coatings which comprises
- a. applying a powder varnish to a substrate, said powder varnish comprising a finely divided mixture of
- i. a 1,2-epoxy compound having at least one 1,2-epoxy group in the molecule and a lower melting point greater than 40.degree. C; and
- ii. a salt of a polycarboxylic acid having three or more carboxyl groups; and a cyclic amidine having the formula ##STR3## wherein R is H, alkyl or aryl;
- R' is the same as R and in addition cycloalkyl, or a heterocycloalkyl radical obtained by substituting one or more --N--, --S--, and/or --O-- atoms in a cycloalkyl ring;
- R" is alkyl and aryl substituted alkylene or arylene; and
- X hydrogen or the radical ##STR4## wherein R and R" are as defined previously; and
- b. thereafter reacting said powder varnish at a temperature of 100.degree. to 240.degree. C to form a matt finish coating.
- 2. Method of claim 1 wherein said salt is present in amounts of 2 to 15 weight percent, based on the epoxy compound.
- 3. Method of claim 1 wherein the polycarboxylic acid and the cyclic amidine are in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 to 1 : 4.
- 4. Method of claim 1 wherein the polycarboxylic acid is selected from the group of trimellite acid, pyromellite acid, butane tetracarboxylic acid and cyclo-pentanetetracarboxylic acid.
- 5. Method of claim 1 wherein the cyclic amidine is 2-phenylimidazoline.
- 6. Method of claim 1 wherein the salt of pyromellite acid and 2-phenylimidazoline is used.
- 7. Method of claim 1 wherein the salt is the reaction product of 1 mole of pyromellite acid with 2 or 4 moles 2-phenylimidazoline used.
