摘要:
A primer layer for fluoropolymer non-stick coating is provided, which comprises a fluoropolymer such as PTFE, a polymer binder such as polyamic acid salt, and inorganic film hardener such as silicate compound, wherein the weight ratio of fluoropolymer to binder is 0.5 to 2.0:1 and the amount of film hardener is 5 to 30 wt % based on the weight of the baked composition. This primer layer adheres to a wide variety of smooth surfaces such as stainless steel and glass, and to the fluoropolymer overcoat on the primer layer, and provides durabilty to the coating.

摘要:
In the formation of a fluoropolymer non-stick layer on a substrate such as of cookware and bakeware, improved adhesion of the layer is obtained by co-grinding at least the polymer binder component with the pigment component. In an aqueous system, this co-grinding is carried out in water which contains a surfactant and the polymer binder is soluble in the water or water organic solvent mixture the resultant co-ground aqueous dispersion/solution is blended with aqueous dispersion of fluoropolymer to form the coating composition. Addition of inorganic filler film hardener to the co-grinding step also improves the scratch resistance of the of the non-stick layer.
