Abstract
Abstract A coating composition comprising a major amount of resin and a minor amount of a property-improving additive, said resin being: (A) a fluorocarbon resin selected from the group consisting of (1) perfluoroalkoxy tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin (PFA), (2) ethylenechlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer resin (E-CTFE), (3) ethylenetetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin (E-TFE), (4) poly(vinylidene fluoride) resin (PVDF), (5) tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer resin (FEP), (6) poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene) resin (CTFE), or a mixture of two or more of said fluorocarbon resins; or (B) a polyether resin selected from the group consisting of (7) polyethersulfone resin (PES), (8) polyether ketone resin (PEK) and (9) polyether ether ketone resin (PEEK) or a mixture or two or more of said polyether resin; said additive being: (C) a poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS); or (D) an inorganic crystalline ceramic powder and/or fluorocarbon resin when said resin is a polyether of (B) above; or (E) an inorganic material selected from the group consisting of a nitride, an oxide, a diboride, and a carbide of silicon, of zirconium, of tungsten or of boron, or a polyester when said resin is a fluorocarbon of (A) above. Coatings and articles including a fused form of said composition and a method for forming said fused composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
A method for forming a fused, non-porous coating from a coating composition by applying said composition to a substrate; and heating said composition to a temperature for a period of time no longer than a predetermined period of time, said temperature being at least 25° F. below the temperature at which the resin of said composition in neat form can be fused completely by heating for no longer than said predetermined period of time without substantially degrading said resin, said composition comprising a major amount of resin and a minor amount of property-improving additive, said resin being: (A) a fluorocarbon resin selected from the group consisting of (1) perfluoroalkoxy tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin (PFA), (2) ethylenechlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer resin (E-CTFE), (3) ethylenetetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin (ETFE), (4) poly(vinylidine fluoride) resin (PVDF), (5) poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene) resin (CTFE), or a mixture of two or more of said fluorocarbon resins; said additive being one or a mixture of (B), (C) or (D): (B) a polyether resin selected from the group consisting of polyethersulfone resin (PES), polyether ketone resin (PEK) and polyether ether ketone resin (PEEK) or a mixture of two or more of said polyether resins; (C) a poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS); or (D) an inorganic crystalline material selected from the group consisting of a nitride, a diboride, and silicon carbide, zirconium carbide, tungsten carbide or boron carbide.
