  • Patent number: 6806333
    Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of a fluorocopolymer, which is excellent in stability and film-forming properties as an aqueous dispersion, and which gives a coating film excellent in mechanical strength and improved in transparency, water resistance and stain resistance. A stable aqueous dispersion of a fluorocopolymer obtained in such a manner that a fluorocopolymer comprising polymerized units based on a vinyl monomer having a reactive group as the base is subjected to a composite treatment or a mixing treatment with a (meth)acrylate containing a reactive group capable of forming a bond by reaction with the above reactive group or the like.
