Abstract
Abstract A coating composition of a fluorocarbon polymer which cures at ambient temperatures in which the fluorocarbon polymer is of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene and has a weight average molecular weight of about 50,000-600,000; the composition contains a metallic oxide such as magnesium oxide which is an acid acceptor, and an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic ester polyamine curing agent; preferably, the composition contains a reinforcing pigment such as titanium dioxide. The coating composition is used to provide corrosion and abrasion resistant coatings for large structures such as chemical plants, oil refineries, oil drilling platforms, and as a coating for the interior of smoke stacks of large utility companies.
