The present disclosure relates to an FPOSS prepolymer which may be reacted with a reactive coating or a polyisocyanate and/or one or more of a polysiloxane, a polyol, a polyamine and a reactive coating; an FPOSS polyisocyanate prepolymer which may be reacted with one or more of a polysiloxane, a polyol, a polyamine or a reactive coating; and an FPOSS siloxane prepolymer which may be reacted with a polyisocyanate and/or one or more of a polyol, a polyamine or a reactive coating to form cross-linked polymers capable of reducing the ability of ice to adhere to the surface of an object, in particular aircraft or other vehicles, methods of producing the prepolymers and polymers and their use in coating surfaces.

Ice adhesion reducing prepolymers and polymers

The invention relates to a coating system, in particular a coating system containing an organometallic layer which allows the selective removal of post coating layers from substrates without detrimental impact to their 'in-service' performance. The organometallic layer comprises (a) an organic polymer containing multi-chelating functionalities; and (b) a metallic agent which forms an organo metallic complex with the organic polymer containing multi-chelating functionalities and is located between an optionally coated substrate and at least one post coating layer of a coating system.
