Patent ID: 8354173

Claim:
A powder coating fluoropolymer composition comprising: a) a fluoroplastic; b) an aromatic material having a structure of the formula: wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are each independently selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms wherein the alkylene group forms an alkylene fused ring with a group in the ortho position, an alkenylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms wherein the alkenylene group forms an alkenylene fused ring with a group in the ortho position, an aryl group having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkaryl group having 6 to 25 carbon atoms, a nitro group, a cyano group, an acyl group, an Ar—S(O)— group wherein Ar is an aromatic group, an Ar—S(O) 2 — group wherein Ar is an aromatic group, an Ar 2 P(O)— group wherein Ar is an aromatic group, and a halogen atom, further wherein the aromatic material is free of thiol groups; c) a salt former compound capable of forming a salt with the aromatic material; and d) optionally a phase transfer catalyst.
