Abstract

A process for producing powder coating materials comprising lustre pigment comprises starting materials consisting of customary powder coating components and one or more lustre pigments. The starting materials are first introduced into the filling chamber of a first vessel which has a mixing element and is provided, if desired, with a thermostat. Subsequently, a supercritical fluid is admitted to the filling chamber, and finally the starting materials are mixed in the presence of the supercritical fluid. The mixture of the customary powder coating components, one or more lustre pigments and the supercritical fluid is transferred by a distributor into a second vessel. The distributor has a plurality of nozzles with an aperture diameter of from 0.025 cm to 2.5 cm. During transfer, the second vessel is maintained at an internal pressure of from 0 bar to 350 bar and at a temperature of from -85.degree. C. to 200.degree. C.
