This article discusses the properties, manufacturing method and applications of a fluorinated monomer, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate or, more simply, Fluorester.
Fluorine-containing monomers are used in a variety of coatings applications because of their heat and chemical resistance, weather-ability, low refractive index, non-cohesiveness, water and oil repellency, and electric insulating properties.
In the past, since fluorine-containing monomers were insoluble in solvents, high-temperature curing was required, and application was limited. To overcome this problem, various solvent-sol...
