Abstract

A coating composition is provided comprising (a) an aqueous medium, (b) melt-fabricable perfluoropolymer dispersed in said aqueous medium and having a melting temperature of at least 290° C., (c) melt-fabricable perfluoropolymer dispersed in said aqueous medium and having a melting temperature of no greater than 270° C., and (d) water miscible organic liquid having a boiling temperature of at least 280° C. and optionally (e) filler, the combination of (c) and (d) providing sloughing resistance to said composition applied to a non-horizontal substrate and baked, component (d) being unnecessary when component (a) is not present in the coating composition, and when filler is present the amount of (c) being present in an effective amount to increase the cohesive strength of the baked layer of the coating composition.

Claims (9)

1. Coating composition resisting sloughing from a non-horizontal metal substrate prior to baking, comprising

(a) an aqueous medium,

(b) melt-fabricable PFA perfluoropolymer dispersed in said aqueous medium and having a melting temperature of at least 290° C., and a sloughing-resistant amount of the combination of

(c) melt-fabricable FEP perfluoropolymer dispersed in said aqueous medium and having a melting temperature of no greater than 270° C., and

(d) water miscible organic liquid having a boiling temperature of at least 280° C., wherein said sloughing-resistant amount is either from 1 to 8 wt % of (c) and from 0.5 to 3 wt % of (d), or is no more than 3 wt % of (c) and no more than 2 wt % of (d), all based on the sum of (a), (b), (c) and (d).

2. The coating composition of claim 1 wherein the sum of said (c) and (d) are present in at least 3 wt % based on the sum of (a), (b), (c) and (d).

3. The coating composition of claim 1 further comprising filler (e) for increasing the impermeability of said coating composition.

4. The coating composition of claim 1 further comprising no greater than 5 wt % of heat resistant polymer binder, whereby said non-horizontal surface requires a primer layer for adhering said coating composition to said substrate.

5. The coating composition of claim 1 wherein said both said perfluoropolymer (b) and said perfluoropolymer (c) are powder.
