  • WEATHERABLE POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE COATED SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20120073632
    Abstract: The invention relates to architectural substrates coated with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) dispersion coating to produce a weatherable material. One specific use is as a PVDF coating on a frontsheet or backsheet of a photovoltaic module for capturing and using solar radiation. The polyvinylidene fluoride coating is exposed to the environment and provides chemical resistance, low water vapor transmission, electrical insulation, and UV light protection.

  • Highly weatherable roof coatings containing aqueous fluoropolymer dispersions
    Patent number: 7803867
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous-based fluoropolymer coating that is especially useful for use over flat or low-slope flexible surfaces, and more specifically for flat or low-slope roofing. The coating can be factory or field applied. The coating offers the advantages of improved durability, lower dirt pick-up, stain resistance, water repellency, increased solar reflectivity duration, and mildew resistance.
