Fluoropolymers are generally known for their thermal and chemical resi
stance in addition to their outstanding surface properties and service
life. The fluoroelastomers based on vinylidene fluoride and hexafluor
opropene ore widely used os very reliable materials working in severe
environments. Flurobase T represents a new application of fluoroelasto
mers os waterborne coating having a rubber like surface with high mech
anical and chemical properties. The unique properties of Fluorobase T
enables paints to be prepared directly by dispersing the pigments and
extenders in the latex. The film obtained can be cured over a wide ran
ge of temperatures. Fluorobase T formulations give to steel, rubber or
concrete a high thickness protective coating (200-250 pm of dry film
per pass) against chemicals like acids, hydrocarbons and oils.
