FLUORINE-CONTAINING COPOLYMER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18451915 titled 'FLUORINE-CONTAINING COPOLYMER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a copolymer made of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and a fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) unit. The copolymer has specific mass percentages of hexafluoropropylene and fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) units, a specific melt flow rate, and a limited number of functional groups per carbon atoms.
- The copolymer contains tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and a fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) unit.
- The copolymer has a hexafluoropropylene content of 5.0 to 7.0% by mass.
- The copolymer has a fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) content of 1.4 to 2.9% by mass.
- The copolymer has a melt flow rate at 372°C of 9 to 40 g/10 min.
- The copolymer has a limited number of functional groups (90 or less) per 10 main-chain carbon atoms.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Coatings for various surfaces, such as metals, plastics, and glass.
- Electrical insulation materials.
- Chemical resistant materials for pipes, tanks, and valves.
- Lubricants and release agents.
