This study describes the effect of crosslinking types on chemical and physical properties and UV resistance of fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) layer over poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) in coil-coating. Hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM) of melamine type and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) of isocyanate type were used respectively as crosslinkers of high gloss and transparent FEVE layer on the PVDF coating layer. The evaluation of physical property and UV (UV-B) resistance was processed within ASTM standards. Urethane-reaction group using HDI showed relatively much better stability against UV (UV-B) than melamine reaction group of HMMM, while some physical and chemical resistances were found to be weaker. Also, in spite of the same melamine reaction group, the UV resistance was varied according to the ratio of HMMM cross-linker. From this study, it is expected to enhance weatherability as well as minimize the film deterioration from UV through optimizing crosslinking reaction in FEVE/PVDF double layer coating as a building exterior application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
