The invention relates to a powder paint containing a binder composition comprising (i) a polymer capable of reacting with epoxy groups, (ii) a crosslinker containing epoxy groups, wherein the crosslinker comprises at least one C5-C26 linear or branched aliphatic chain and the crosslinker has an epoxy functionality greater than 1, with the proviso that the epoxy groups are carried on the at least one aliphatic chain and a catalyst being a metal salt of a carboxylic acid or an alcohol or a metal hydroxide. Suitable catalysts include sodium stearate, lithium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium neodecanoate, lithium benzoate, sodium laurate, lithium laurate, sodium octanoate, lithium octanoate and lithium neodecanoate. |
