  • Aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion and method for making fluoropolymer-containing thermoplastic resin composition
    Patent number: 6040370
    Abstract: A stabilized aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion includes a fluoropolymer and a fatty acid salt. A fluoropolymer additive is made by aqueous emulsion polymerization of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of the stabilized fluoropolymer dispersion or, alternatively, by co-coagulation of the stabilized fluoropolymer dispersion and an aqueous emulsion of a second polymer. A fluoropolymer-containing thermoplastic resin composition is made by combining the fluoropolymer additive with a thermoplastic resin.
