Abstract:
Fluoropolymer-based coatings with enhanced gloss are obtained by using a semi-crystalline fluorinated polymer having a very small particle size, in combination with a nucleating agent (such as PTFE) and, optionally, an acrylic polymer.
Abstract:
The invention provides a weatherable composite including a moisture barrier system having a moisture vapor transmission rate at or below 1 x 10 -2 g/m 2 /day, at least one weatherable layer or coating, and a substrate that is disposed between the moisture barrier system and the weatherable layer or coating. The weatherable composite may be adhered to one or both sides (e.g., front and back) of a photovoltaic thin-film cell or organic light emitting diode such that the weatherable layer(s) or coating side(s) of the weatherable composite is exposed to the environment. The weatherable composite protects the device from both moisture and UV exposure.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an aqueous fluoropolymer coating composition for direct application to glass without the need for pre-treatment of the glass surface. The coating composition can also be used with other non-porous and porous substrates. The fluoropolymer coating contains a hydroxyl-functional fluoropolymer, and polyisocyanates. Preferably the coating composition also contains a water-dispersible hydroxyl functional polyurethane. The coating composition may exist as a 1-pack or a multi-pack coating system. The coating has excellent wet adhesion to glass, good weathering, chalking resistance, chemical resistance, and dirt pickup resistance.
Abstract:
Compositions useful for forming high gloss, transparent, hard, flexible, weather- and dirt-resistant coatings on substrate surfaces are prepared using a) fluoropolymer, such as KYNAR® resins and KYNAR Aquatec® resins from Arkema Inc, b) fluoropolymer-miscible polymer and c) one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds capable of being cured by free radical means, such as urethane acrylate oligomers and monomer reactive diluants from Sartomer USA, LLC. The compositions are capable of being cured by free radical polymerization induced by, for example, irradiation or heating.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an process for coating a glass substrate with an environmentally friendly aqueous, fluoropolymer coating composition. The process involves applying a polyurethane primer to the glass substrate, and partially, but not completely crosslinking this primer coating. An aqueous hydroxyl-functional fluoropolymer coating is then applied to the partially cross-linked primer coating, and the coating allowed to fully cure. The invention also relates to the intertwined multilayer primer/fluoropolymer coating on the glass substrate. The final coating has excellent wet adhesion to glass, good weathering, durability, chalking resistance, chemical resistance, and dirt pickup resistance.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a colored, multi-layered composition having a high level of Total Solar Reflectance (TSR). The composition includes a thin top, weatherable layer having a minimal amount of colored pigment suitable for optical hiding. In one embodiment a pigmented topcoat having less than 12 percent colored (non-white) pigment in a KYNAR AQUATEC emulsion (Arkema Inc.) is placed over a white elastomeric acrylic primer on a substrate to produce a colored multiplayer composition with a TSR of greater than 70%.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a heat-stabilized fluoropolymer composition that resists discoloration, especially in extended heat applications. The composition includes at least one phosphoaryl compound having phosphorous in a P +3 or P +5 oxidation state. This additive reduces the yellowing effect that can occur during extended heat exposure, especially of polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinyl fluoride polymers and copolymers.
