Abstract
Abstract A coating composition is provided which comprises (a) 10% to 90% by weight of at least one thermoplastic aromatic polysulphones preferably having a reduced viscosity of at least 0.3 (measured at 25 DEG C on a solution in dimethyl formamide containing 1 g of polymer in 100 cm3 of solution) and (b) 90% to 10% by weight of at least one fluorocarbon polymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A coating composition which comprises a polymer mixture of (a) 10% to 90% by weight of at least one thermoplastic aromatic polysulphone having repeat units ##SPC8## alone or in conjunction with repeat units selected from at least one of ##SPC9## or repeat units (ii) or (iii) in conjunction with repeat units ##SPC10## and, correspondingly, 90% to 10% by weight of at least one fluorocarbon polymer selected from polytetrafluoroethylene and copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene with up to 15% by weight of another unsaturated monomer, said composition being in the form of a dispersion of said fluorocarbon polymer dispersed in a solution of said thermoplastic aromatic polysulphone in a solvent therefor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A coating composition which comprises a polymer mixture of (a) 10% to 90% by weight of at least one thermoplastic aromatic polysulphone having repeat units ##SPC8## alone or in conjunction with repeat units selected from at least one of ##SPC9## or repeat units (ii) or (iii) in conjunction with repeat units ##SPC10## and, correspondingly, 90% to 10% by weight of at least one fluorocarbon polymer selected from polytetrafluoroethylene and copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene with up to 15% by weight of another unsaturated monomer, said composition being in the form of a dispersion of said fluorocarbon polymer dispersed in a solution of said thermoplastic aromatic polysulphone in a solvent therefor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A composition according to claim 1 in which the concentration of thermoplastic aromatic polysulphone is 15% to 85% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A composition according to claim 2 in which the concentration of thermoplastic aromatic polysulphone is less than 60% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
