LOW VOC AND HIGH SOLID FLUOROPOLYMER FOR COATING APPLICATIONS

摘要

Disclosed are methods of reducing the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the earth's atmosphere during coating operations providing a coating composition comprising a carrier comprising VOC compounds and one or more fluorocopolymers by copolymerization of (1) first monomer selected from the group consisting of hydrofluoroalkenes, (2) second monomer comprising vinyl ester(s), and (3) third monomer comprising vinyl ether(s), wherein at least a portion of said vinyl ether monomer is a hydroxyl group-containing vinyl ether, wherein the fluorocopolymer comprises at least about 70% by weight of said coating composition and the VOC portion of said carrier is not greater than about 30% by weight of said coating composition.
