  • Patent number: 5730922
    Abstract: A laminate has at least two layers, at least one of which comprises a polymer having more than one perfluorocyclobutane group. Such polymers impart qualities of environmental or protection, chemical and solvent resistance, hydrolytic stability, lubricity, low dielectric, hydrostatic stability, weatherability, flame resistance, chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability, lubricity, environmental protection, scratch resistance, solvent resistance, surface passivation, water repellancy, lower surface refractive index, lower surface coefficient of friction, fluid barrier properties, oil repellancy, thermal stability, and/or reduced moisture pick-up. Additionally, the coatings are optically clear, easy to apply either neat, in a solvent or otherwise, have relatively low cure temperatures for their temperature resistance, and exhibit insulating and planarizing capabilities.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 1996
    Date of Patent: March 24, 1998
    Assignee: The Dow Chemical Company
    Inventors: David A. Babb, W. Frank Richey, Katherine Clement, Edward R. Peterson, Alvin P. Kennedy, Zdravko Jezic, Larry D. Bratton, Eckel Lan, Donald J. Perettie
