Abstract
Non-fluorinated epoxy resins of known type are crosslinked by means of polyfunctional perfluoropolyethers containing groups which are reactive with the epoxy groups and/or with the hydroxy groups present in the starting resin. The so-obtained crosslinked products, with a fluorine content not higher than 20% by weight, preferably comprised within the range of from 5% to 15%, are endowed with a set of properties typical of the corresponding fluorinated resins with a much higher fluorine content, in particular, water- and oil-repellence, resistance to hydrolysis and to solvents, minimum water absorption.
