Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A coating composition useful for providing a substrate with a coating having a textured appearance, comprising, on a resin solids basis, a resinous mixture of: (a) from about 40 percent to about 85 percent by weight of a film-forming fluorocarbon resin having a particle size of from about 0.1 microns to about 5 microns; (b) from 0 percent to about 50 percent by weight of a thermoplastic acrylic resin selected from homoplymers and copolymers of acrylic acid esters or methacrylic acid esters and thermosetting copolymers of acrylic monomers containing hydroxyl or amide groups; and (c) from about 3 percent to about 50 percent by weight of a particulate fluorocarbon resin having a particle size ranging from about 20 microns to about 3500 microns, said particulate fluorocarbon resin being fused with the film-forming fluorocarbon resin upon curing to provide said textured appearance.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A coating composition useful for providing a substrate with a coating having a textured appearance, comprising, on a resin solids basis, a resinous mixture of: (a) from about 40 percent to about 85 percent by weight of a film-forming fluorocarbon resin having a particle size of from about 0.1 microns to about 5 microns; (b) from 0 percent to about 50 percent by weight of a thermoplastic acrylic resin selected from homoplymers and copolymers of acrylic acid esters or methacrylic acid esters and thermosetting copolymers of acrylic monomers containing hydroxyl or amide groups; and (c) from about 3 percent to about 50 percent by weight of a particulate fluorocarbon resin having a particle size ranging from about 20 microns to about 3500 microns, said particulate fluorocarbon resin being fused with the film-forming fluorocarbon resin upon curing to provide said textured appearance.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
83 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
The composition of claim 8 wherein the composition additionally contains a pigment.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
56 words
The composition of claim 8 wherein the composition, on a resin solids basis, comprises: (a) from about 55 percent to about 75 percent of the film-forming fluorocarbon resin; (b) from about 20 percent to about 40 percent of the acrylic resin; and (c) from about 5 percent to about 16 percent of the particulate fluorocarbon resin.
