Ethylenically crosslinkable fluorinated polymer additives for architectural coatings

Abstract:

The present invention comprises a crosslinkable polymer compound comprising a fluorinated Unit A, an optional hydrophilic Unit B, an optional acidic or neutralized acid Unit C, a crosslinkable pendant olefin group-containing Unit D, and an optional hydrophobic alkyl Unit E. Such polymeric compounds are useful as coatings additives such that, when the coating is applied to a substrate, the additive compound is allowed to first migrate to the surface and subsequently crosslink to form a durable oil-, dirt-, and water-repellent surface.
