Abstract
Abstract An arylene sulfide coating composition containing a fluorocarbon polymer is applied as a first or base coat to a substrate and cured under conditions to give only a partial cure. Multiple base coats can be applied and each partially cured prior to application of the next coat. Thereafter a single top coat of poly(arylene sulfide) is applied and the final coating cured under normal curing conditions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A METHOD FOR COATING A SUBSTRATE WITH AN ARYLENE SULFIDE POLYMER COMPOSITION COMPRISING APPLYING AT LEAST ONE BASE COAT OF SAID ARYLENE SULFIDE POLYMER CONTAINING A FLUOROCARBON POLYMER OF SUFFICIENTLY LOWER MOLECULAR WEIGHT TO EXHIBIT SOME FLOW UNDER ASTMD 1238 MELT FLOW TEST AT 380*C WITH A 5000 G WEIGHT AND CURING SAID THUS FORMED BASE COAT AT A FIRST ELEVATED TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF 225* TO 610*F FOR A TIME, T IN MINUTES NO MORE THAN AN AMOUNT REPRESENTED BY THE EQUATION T=(-T/20) + 62 WHEREIN T IS AN INTEGER CORRESPONDING TO SAID FIRST ELEVATED TEMPERATURE IN *F, SO AS TO GIVE AN INCOMPLETE CURE; AND THEREAFTER APPLYING A TOP COAT OF ARYLENE JECTING THE THUS-COATED SUBSTRATE TO A SECOND ELEVATED TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF 650* TO 900*F FOR A TIME IN MINUTES T'', GREATER THAN THE REPRESENTED BY THE FORMULA T'' =(-2T/25) + 77 WHEREIN T'' IS AN INTEGER CORRESPONDING TO SAID SECOND ELEVATED TEMPERATURE IN *F, TO GIVE A RELATIVELY COMPLETE CURE.
