Preparation and Characterization of Self-Healing Polyurethane Powder Coating Using Diels–Alder Reaction

Although powder coating systems offer many environmental, ecological and energy related benefits over liquid based coatings, in the case of uretdione based polyurethane systems, high curing temperature is still an issue. On the other hand, powder coating systems make it possible to reduce the costs...
