Heat-curable pulverulent coating agent consisting of a mixture of compounds containing glycidyl groups, dicarboxylic acid anhydrides, curing accelerators, flow control agents and optionally further customary additives

Claim 1

Pulverulent coating agent of a mixture of A. a component which consists of 84 to 94 percent by weight of polyepoxides which have Durran softening points of about 90°-110°C and are soluble in organic solvents, and have the general formula ##EQU4## wherein if A is (--OOC--R 1 --COO--CH 2 --CHOH--CH 2 --) then B represents (--OOC--R 1 --COO), wherein R 1 represents an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical and n is zero or a small number from zero to eight; or if A is (--O--R 1 --O--CH 2 --CHOH--CH 2 --), then B denotes (--O--R 1 --O--) and R 1 has the meaning already mentioned, or if A represents ##SPC4## then B is ##SPC5## B. consisting of 6 to 16 percent by weight of at least one dicarboxylic acid anhydride with melting point of about 60°-140°C in an amount corresponding to 0.4 - 1.0 anhydride groups per epoxy group (glycidyl group) of the component (A), C. a curing accelerator in the form of an organic base and optionally D. a flow control agent in an amount of at least 0.05 percent by weight of the mixture, which agent is a polymer of molecular weight (M n ) of at least 1,000 and has a glass transition temperature which is at least 50°C lower than the glass transition temperature of the component (A), characterized in that the component (C) consists of 0.5 - 1.8 percent by weight of N',N'-bis-(dimethylaminoisobutylidene)-melamine.
