Development of Soil Resistant Water-Based Fluoropolymer Paint

Abstract

Solvent-soluble fluoropolymer paints have been developed for the purpose of long-lived protection of buildings and other structures.In resent years,maintaining excellent appearances is being regarded as important in the market currents and moreover,reduction of VOC's of paints is desired in the recent environmental circumstances,especially,in the air polluyion.This pqper deals with fluoropolymer paintd of high durability,water-based and is soil resistant besides.The soil resistant technology for this water-based fluororpolymer paint is newly developed which is different from those of solvent-soluble paints.We discuss the mechanism of soil resistance(release) and the performance of coatings such as durability and recoatability,together with the applications for architectures in this paper.
