A coating composition comprising a major amount of resin and a minor amount of a property-improving additive, said resin being: (A) a fluorocarbon resin selected from the group consisting of (1) perfluoroalkoxy tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin (PFA), (2) ethylenechlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer resin (E-CTFE), (3) ethylenetetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin (E-TFE), (4) poly(vinylidine fluoride) resin (PVDF), (5) tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer resin (FEP), (6) poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene) resin (CTFE), or a mixture of two or more of said fluorocarbon resins; or (B) a polyether resin selected from the group consisting of (7) polyethersulfone resin (PES), (8) polyether ketone resin (PEK) and (9) polyether ether ketone resin (PEEK) or a mixture of two or more of said polyether resins; said additive being: (C) a poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS); or (D) an inorganic crystalline ceramic powder and/or fluorocarbon resin when said resin is a polyether of (B) above; or (E) an inorganic material selected from the group consisting of a nitride, an oxide, a diboride, and a carbide of silicon, of zirconium, of tungsten or of boron, or a polyether when said resin is a fluorocarbon of (A) above. Coatings and articles including a fused form of said composition and a method for forming said fused composition. |
