Abstract: A melt processable fluoropolymer composition comprising TFE, VDF and from 1 to 3 mol % fluorinated ether is disclosed. A method of making the polymer is also disclosed.

Abstract: An injection molding process to mold a fluorinated thermoplastic elastomeric polymer composition is disclosed. An article made using the process has little shrinkage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a thermoplastic elastomer composition comprising a blend of at least two fluoropolymers. The first fluoropolymer has from 0 to 30 weight percent of a monomer J selected from the group consisting of hexafluoropropene (HFP), fluorinated or perfluorinated vinyl ethers, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, trifluoropropene, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro propene or combinations thereof. The second fluoropolymer has at least 30 weight percent, preferably at least 35 weight percent, of monomer T selected from the group consisting of hexafluoropropene (HFP), fluorinated or perfluorinated vinyl ethers, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, trifluoropropene, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro propene or combinations thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides for a low pH disinfectant composition that includes a relatively low amount of alcohol. Also provided is an article of manufacture that includes a textile and the composition, as well as methods of using the composition and article of manufacture (e.g., for reducing the number of microbes located upon a substrate, for killing or inhibiting a broad spectrum of microorganisms, for killing or inhibiting spore forming bacteria, and/or for disinfecting a substrate). The composition can optionally include a stable residual antimicrobial compound, thereby providing a combination of high-level disinfection and long-lasting residual effect.

Abstract: The present invention provides for antimicrobial compositions, methods of preparing the antimicrobial compositions, methods of using the antimicrobial compositions, and/or kits that include the antimicrobial compositions. The antimicrobial compositions can be in a dry, solid (e.g., powdered) form, or can be in a liquid (e.g., aqueous) form.

Abstract: Anti-microbial compositions including an anti-microbial polymer containing silicon-containing quaternary ammonium groups, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), at least one short chain alcohol, optional fragrance, and water are provided. The anti-microbial compositions may be used to disinfect both porous and non-porous surfaces. Exemplary compositions may include 0.1-10 wt % of the anti-microbial polymer containing silicon-containing quaternary ammonium groups, 0.1-10 wt % polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 1.0-20 wt % isopropyl alcohol, optional fragrance, and water.
