a process for improving the electrostatic charge developed on a resin powder composition for electrostatic coating of solid objects and the method of application thereof . the resin powder comprises a thermosetting or thermoplastic resin and an electrostatic property modifying agent incorporated in the resin or on the surface of the resin . the methods of application of the powder involves charging the powder by electrical induction / conduction and spraying the charged powder onto a grounded solid object to which it adheres prior to the thermal fusing to produce a permanent finish .
