Abstract: An aqueous fluoroelastomer curable composition comprising an aqueous fluoroelastomer dispersion and a basic polyol curing agent, and an article having a coating film formed from this composition. The aqueous fluoroelastomer curable composition has a long pot life although it is a one-fluid type aqueous dispersion, and forms a cured film having sufficient strength and heat resistance at a relatively low temperature in a short time.

Abstract: A stabilized fluorine-containing polymer powder having an average particle size of 5 to 100 &mgr;m is prepared by contacting a fluorine-containing polymer powder, which is prepared by milling the fluorine-containing polymer and removing fine particles, fibrous particles and coarse particles by classification, with a fluorinating agent so that the total number of unstable terminal groups is decreased to 7 to 50 per 106 carbon atoms. This a fluorine-containing polymer powder achieved a high coating efficiency in an electrostatic coating method and provides a film having good properties such as heat resistance, non-tackiness, low frictional property, chemical resistance, etc.

Abstract: In an aqueous curing composition of a fluoroelastomer comprising a fluoroelastomer, a curing agent and a surfactant, a surfactant with which an amount of decomposition residues is 0.3% by weight or less after being baked at 300° C. for 30 minutes, for example, a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether or a polyoxyethylenepolyoxypropylene block polymer, is used as a surfactant. Such a composition can make use of the inherent characteristics of the fluoroelastomer.

Abstract: An aqueous curing composition of a fluoroelastomer containing a fluoroelastomer, a fluororesin, a curing agent, which further contains a surfactant which leaves 0.3 wt. % or less of a decomposition residue after being heated at 300° C. for 30 minutes and/or a polar solvent having a boiling point of 300° C. or less and a surface tension of at least 30 dyne/cm at room temperature. When a coating film is formed from this aqueous composition, a large amount of the fluororesin contained therein can be bled up on the surface of the coating film. Thus, the durability and non-tackiness of the coating film can be improved.
