Abstract: Polymeric compositions are provided in which perfluoropolyethers have been solubilized in non-fluorinated solvents by combining them with a solubilizing agent such as azotic conjugated compounds, and phosphorylated compounds. Typical of the perfluoropolyethers is ##STR1## Typical of the solubilizing agents is phosphorylated methacryloyloxyhydroxypropylisophthalate. The perfluoropolyether and the solubilizing agent are mixed to form a paste which is soluble in organic solvents such as methylethylketone. These compositions find utility as protective lubricant coatings for thin film magnetic recording media. They have the advantage that only one coating step is required in order to apply both the phosphorylated compound and the lubricating polyether. Recording media lubricated with these compositions have demonstrated excellent wear characteristics.

Abstract: A thermoplastic material formed from a hydrocarbon chain is modified to inhibit the production of static charges. The thermoplastic material may be a polypropylene. A weak salt having properties of ionizing and having its positive ions bond chemically to the thermoplastic material is mixed in the thermoplastic material. A chemical agent is also dispersed in the thermoplastic material and is provided with properties of facilitating the dispersion of the positive ions of the weak salt throughout the thermoplastic material for chemical bonding to the thermoplastic material. The chemical agent may also be bonded chemically to the thermoplastic material. The weak salt may be cupric acetate and the chemical agent may be an ethoxylated amine when the thermoplastic material is polypropylene. The polypropylene is preferably mixed with a suitable material such as polyethylene to enhance the amorphous characteristics of the thermoplastic material.
