Abstract
This invention provides a fluoropolymer dispersion useful for coating applications. The dispersion is a homogeneous and non-ozone depleting dispersion comprising a lubricious fluoropolymer, an inert perfluorinated liquid, a polar solvent, and an effective amount of a surface active agent selected from the group consisting of PA1 a. perfluoroaliphatic amidoalkanols; PA1 b. polymerized products formed from the reaction of a mixture comprising a hydrophilic monomer and a monomer of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein p and q are integers between 1 and 4 inclusive, x and y are integers between 0 and 4 inclusive, m is 1 or 2, n is an integer between 3 and 10 inclusive, X' is either a methyl group or a single hydrogen atom, g is 0 or 1, and Q is a sulfonamido constituent group according to the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen or a lower alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and wherein the hydrophilic monomer is present in an amount constituting inclusively between five and twenty-five weight percent of the reactant mixture when the polar solvent employed is a polar organic solvent and wherein the hydrophilic monomer is present in an amount constituting inclusively…
