  • Publication number: 20090297815
    Abstract: To provide a laminated sheet which has high transparency and withstands long outdoor use, comprising a glass fiber cloth which is free from deformation of the cloth even in a step of bonding the cloth to a fluororesin film. A laminated sheet comprising a woven or nonwoven fabric comprising glass fibers fixed by a binder, and a fluororesin film laminated on each other, wherein the binder contains a copolymer (A) having repeating units (a1) based on at least one fluoromonomer selected from the group consisting of tetrafluoroethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene, and repeating units (a2) based on at least one non-fluoromonomer selected from the group consisting of a vinyl ether, a vinyl ester, an isopropenyl ether, an isopropenyl ester, an allyl ether and an allyl ester.

  • Patent number: 7414084
    Abstract: A composition which can improve impact resistance of a coating film while maintaining superior weather resistance and gloss of the coating film of a fluororesin powder coating material is provided. A fluororesin powder coating composition containing the following particles (C) in an amount of from 0.1 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of a fluororesin. The particles (C) are particles having a core/shell structure and having an average particle size of from 0.01 to 2.5 ?m, wherein the core and/or at least one shell comprises a fluorinated polymer.

  • Patent number: 7153907
    Abstract: A composition for fluororesin powder coating material, with which a coating film having an excellent matte effect is obtainable without impairing features of fluororesins including excellent weather resistance, and a process for its production, are presented. The composition for fluororesin powder coating material comprises at least two curing systems each comprising a fluororesin having crosslinkable sites and a curing agent reactive to the crosslinkable sites, wherein the respective curing systems substantially independently react and crosslink, and the crosslinking reaction time of one curing system is different by at least 20 seconds from the crosslinking reaction time of other curing system(s).
