To develop a thermosetting powder coating composition including a functional copolymer which gives excellent crack resistance and acid resistance and has a low VOC level.
The thermosetting composition includes a co-reactable solid, a film forming material having a functional group, a crosslinking agent having at least two functional groups that are reactive with the functional group in the film forming material. The crosslinking agent includes a copolymer having at least 30 mol% of alternating structural units of a residue from a donor monomer and a residue from one or more acrylic acceptor monomers. The thermosetting composition may coat a substrate by coalescing the composition to form a continuous film and curing the composition.
