FLUORINE-CONTAINING COPOLYMER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452109 titled 'FLUORINE-CONTAINING COPOLYMER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fluorine-containing copolymer that includes tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) units. The copolymer has specific mass percentages of hexafluoropropylene and perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) units, as well as a specific melt flow rate at 372°C.
- The copolymer contains tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) units.
- The hexafluoropropylene unit content is between 9.6% and 10.5% by mass.
- The perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) unit content is between 1.2% and 1.6% by mass.
- The copolymer has a melt flow rate at 372°C ranging from 17.0 to 40.0 g/10 min.
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 hexafluoropropylene and perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) units, allowing for tailored properties.
- Offers improved chemical resistance and thermal stability compared to other fluoropolymers.
- Enables the production of coatings and materials with desired melt flow rates for specific applications.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced chemical resistance and thermal stability.
- Tailored properties based on specific mass percentages of monomer units.
