A powder coating composition comprising (A) 70 to 97% by weight of an ethylene resin mixture composed of (A-1) an ethylene copolymer having a melt index of 1 to 50 and containing at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of alpha-olefins other than ethylene, dienes, vinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol, acrylic acid, functional derivatives of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and functional derivatives of methacrylic acid, and (A-2) a graft copolymer of polyethylene having grafted thereto an unsaturated carboxylic component, the amount of said unsaturated carboxylic component being 0.001 to 2% based on the weight of the ethylene resin mixture (A), and (B) 3 to 30% by weight of a hydrocarbon wax having a number average molecular weight of about 400 to about 3,000 and a density of not less than 0.9 g/cm3, said wax having an acid value of up to about 5 when it is a modified wax. |
