Abstract
Single coat coating systems (), as well as articles coated with such non-stick coating systems, are provided. The single coat system includes a fluoropolymer copolymer (), such as fluoropolymer terpolymer including tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, and vinylidene fluoride monomers, with fluoropolymer copolymers are referred to collectively as THV. The single coat system exhibits excellent substrates adhesion and release properties, is resistant to separation failure at the interface between the binder () and fluoropolymer components (), and exhibits adhesion to smooth substrates (). The single coat system may also include a high level of fillers to provide increased damage resistance without compromising the above benefits.
