Air Cured Fluoropolymers

Fluoropolymers have many useful properties, but they require heat to cure them. 220^oC is the lowest temperature needed for a full cure. In those occasions where heat is not desirable and a cure better than a “flash off” is wanted, then our air cured fluoropolymer is ideal.

A fluoroploymer is a compound that contains a Fluorine atom, such as PTFE. Fluorine has inherently good repellent properties.

Hard Coat is a halogenated synthetic polymer in an organic solvent solution and isocyanate prepolymer coating. It is designed to provide a cross-linked film with low surface energy offering good resistance to dirt and stain pick-up and easy clean properties.

The coating is formulated on materials with a high level of resistance to UV degradation and contains UV absorbers to aid in protecting the overpainted substrate. Performance is dependent upon cross-link density which increases with cure time and / or cure temperature and is considered complete after seven days at an average ambient temperature of 15^oC.

Our coating can also be used as a low film build easy clean coating onto previously painted surfaces.
