Abstract
Effects of curing temperature on the properties and wear resistance of fluoropolymer coating films using commercially available low-temperature cured type materials were investigated. Treatment of higher curing temperature improved pencil hardness, non-stick property, and abrasion resistance against wool felts. Surfaces of films were analyzed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and ESCA spectroscopy. The results of the films containing PTFE and FEP indicated that content of fluoropolymer was decreased after wiping by wool felts.
