Surface portions of metal materials, in particular artifacts which are of interest from historical, artistic or archeological perspectives, are protected from atmospheric agents and pollutants, and are re-aggregated, by reversibly applying a protecting and aggregating material comprising a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride having 55-85 mol % of vinylidene fluoride, 10-45 mol % of hexafluoropropene and 0-30 mol % of tetrafluoroethylene. Such polymers are applied onto the surface to be protected as solutions in volatile solvents.

Process for the protection and aggregation of metal materials of

Process for the protection of stone materials, marble, bricks, and concrete, and of structures made from such materials, against the decay caused by atmospheric agents and pollutants, by applying to the surface of said materials or structures a mixture which is constituted by:

Process for the protection of stone materials, marble, bricks and

A process for the reproduction of works of art made of a lithoid material including the use of a silicone rubber to obtain a negative mold of the work of art, wherein a thin layer of a fluorinated grease, based on polytetrafluoroethylene and a liquid perfluoropolyether, is first applied to the work of art.

Process for the reproduction of works of art of lithoid material

The surface of stone materials, of tiles, of cement mixes and articles and structures manufactured therefrom are protected against atmospheric and polluting agents by superficially applying a protecting material consisting of a vinylidene fluoride polymer or copolymer comprising 55-100% by moles of vinylidene fluoride, 0-5% by moles of propene hexafluoride and 0-30% by moles of tetrafluoroethylene. Such polymers or copolymers are applied to the surface to be protected in the form of a solution in volatile solvents.

Process for protecting and consolidating stone materials

A process for protecting marble, stones, tiles, cement and similar materials from the action of atmospheric and polluting agents, by applying a perfluropolyether to the surface of the manufactured article, characterized by using a perfluoropolyether having at one or at both ends functional groups capable of acting as anchoring agents for the substrate.

Use of perfluoropolyether derivatives for protecting stone materials

A process for protecting manufactured structures or articles of marble, stones, tiles, cement and the like from the action of polluting and atmospheric agents, by applying a perfluoropolyether onto the surface of the manufactured structure or article, characterized in that there is utilized a perfluoropolyether having at one or both its ends functional groups selected from carboxylic, ester or amidic groups.

Method for protecting stone materials from atmospheric agents by means

Marble, stones, tiles and articles manufactured from such materials are protected from the degrading action of atmospheric and polluting agents by applying to the surfaces of said materials and manufactured articles, a protecting agent which is a perfluoropolyether as such or diluted with a solvent or a mixture of solvents having a boiling temperature lower than 80.degree. C., preferably a fluorochlorohydrocarbon.

Protecting materials subject to degradation by atmospheric and polluting

Amorphous, highly viscous high molecular weight copolyethers containing in excess of 200 total repeating units and formed of --CF.sub.2 --CF.sub.2 --O-- and --CF.sub.2 --O-- repeating units randomly distributed along the chain and linked to each other either directly or through an oxygen atom, in which latter case a peroxy group is present along the chain. These copolyethers, which are useful for preparing bifunctional telomers, high molecular weight fluoropolymers, and highly stable lubricants and heat exchange materials, are prepared by reacting molecular oxygen with tetrafluoroethylene dissolved in a fluorinated or chlorofluorinated solvent selected from the group consisting of dichlorodifluoromethane, perfluorocyclobutane, perfluorodimethylcyclobutane, 1,2-dichloro-hexafluoropropane and 1,2-dichloro-tetrafluoroethane in the presence of ultraviolet radiation and under such conditions that the molar ratio of the tetrafluoroethylene to the oxygen in the reactant feed is between about 0.1 and 2, the reaction temperature is between about -80.degree. C. and -35.degree. C., the total pressure at the point where the gaseous reactants are introduced into the reaction zone is between about 1 and 2 atmospheres, and the ratio F/VE is greater than 3.0.times.10.sup.-4 (mols./cc. watt hour) where F is the number of mols/hour of tetrafluoroethylene fed to the reaction zone, E is the number of watts of ultraviolet rays having a wave length below 3,300 .ANG. which penetrate the reaction zone, and V is the volume of the reaction zone.
