Properties

　 The Actyflon-G04 is a polyfluorine-containing monomer of polymers which may reinforce to resin’s performance. The polymers of this G04-containing has excellent heat and chemical resistance , stain resistance , low refractive index, non-cohesiveness, water and oil repellency, electric insulating properties.and etc ,because it contains plentiful fluorine in its side chain, the weight ratio of fluorine in its molecular weight is 57% and atom ratio in its molecular is 40%. The tranquilization is better than other monomers. The fluorine atom is very compact. In addition, the distance of the C-F bond is short and the bonding energy is higher than that of other bonds. This leads to a decrease in the cohesive energy between molecules and lowers the surface free energy of the polymer, thereby making the polymer less wettable and adhesive. G04 can easily copolymerize with other acrylate-type monomers, also can polymerize with polymers that have a reactive functional group in their side chain such as (meth)acrylic acid, hydroxyalkyl acrylate and hydroxyalkyl acryl amide.

Apply the classification the introduction

Solvent-Type Thermoplastic Paint

As Actyflon-G04 can easily copolymerize with other acrylate-type monomers, it is most suitable for formulating coatings. It is known that the chemical resistance water and oil repellency and weatherability of paint can be increased by copolymerizing Actyflon-G04 with acrylic monomer. the paint film also had excellent impact resistance and adhesive properties when it cured in the room temperature.

Thermosetting Paint

Actyflon-G04 can polymerize with polymers that have a reactive functional group in their side chain such as (meth)acrylic acid, hydroxyalkyl acrylate and hydroxyalkyl acryl amide. Its use in thermosetting paint has been reported. And can cured in the room temperature in the present curing agent. Actyflon-G04 can be decrease in the gloss of the hardened paint film, and a chalking phenomenon or cracking can take place, these defects are caused by hydrolysis with moisture. Therefore, the problems such as durability and weatherability and stain resistance are thought to be solved by the copolymerization of Actyflon-G04 with others monomer.

Emulsion-Type Paint

The expectation of the development of emulsion-type paint containing fluorine has been high from the viewpoint of environmental problems. Actyflon-G04 has properties close to those of ordinary acrylic monomers, although it is a fluorine-containing monomer; therefore it does not affect the mechanical and chemical stability of the latex. Instead, due to the surface-active effect by fluorine, this monomer stabilizes the emulsion in the polymerization process, making it possible to carry out the polymerization without an emulsifying agent. To improve the mechanical and chemical stability of the resulting latex, it was necessary to consider using graft polymerization using a hydrophilic monomer. On the other hand, in the case of ordinary acrylic emulsion type paint, it is necessary to add an emulsifying agent in the polymerization.

UV-Curing Type Paint

A UV- or EB-curable paint in which no solvent or water was used has been developed because of pollution/environmental concerns. Like the case of other monomers, it is difficult to polymerize Actyflon-G04 by the irradiation of light. It is most appropriate to copolymerize it with some photo polymerizing monomer, and use the resulting copolymer as a photo cross linking substance. The resulting copolymer is UV cured, and the coating is hydrophobic.

Other Application Fields of Actyflon-G04

The possible use of Actyflon-G04 as a component for various special paints is under study. this compound was used for the protective coating for airplanes due to its high chemical resistance. Actyflon-G04 can used as a glazed coating for paper. The glazing process for paper is necessary to provide the gloss to printed paper and protect its surface. and has excellent abrasion resistance and adhesive properties.
