FLUORINE-CONTAINING COPOLYMER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18449977 titled 'FLUORINE-CONTAINING COPOLYMER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fluorine-containing copolymer that consists of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) units. The copolymer has specific mass percentages of each unit and a defined melt flow rate at a specific temperature.
- The copolymer contains tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) units.
- The hexafluoropropylene unit constitutes 9.4 to 10.3% by mass of the copolymer.
- The perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) unit constitutes 1.6 to 2.9% by mass of the copolymer.
- The copolymer has a melt flow rate of 9.0 to 17.0 g/10 min at 372°C.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Coatings for various surfaces, such as metals, plastics, and fabrics.
- Electrical insulation materials.
- Chemical resistant components in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a copolymer with specific mass percentages of different units, allowing for tailored properties and performance.
- Offers improved chemical resistance and thermal stability compared to other polymers.
- Enables the production of coatings and materials with excellent non-stick properties.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced chemical resistance and thermal stability.
- Improved non-stick properties.
- Versatile applications in various industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided a fluorine-containing copolymer comprising tetrafluoroethylene unit, hexafluoropropylene unit, and a perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) unit, wherein the copolymer has a content of the hexafluoropropylene unit of 9.4 to 10.3% by mass with respect to the whole of the monomer units, a content of the perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) unit of 1.6 to 2.9% by mass with respect to the whole of the monomer units, and a melt flow rate at 372° C. of 9.0 to 17.0 g/10 min.
