a suitable pigment dispersion and then adding this dispersi.on to the compo 8 ition.
The composltions can be applied in any o~ the usual ways. Spraying, roller-coating, dippingg doctor-blading --all are suitable, although spraying is generally the method of choice. The article to be coated is preferably pretreated by grit~blasting, by the flame-spraying of metals or by frit-coating. The article is then primed with a compositlon of`
the type disclosed in U S. Patent 3,655~604 or 3,694,392.
In a preferred embodiment the priming procedure is as ~ollows:

1. The ~ollowing were mixed together:

PTFE dispersion 478.76 parts aqueous, 60~ solids Deionized water 130.23 parts Colloidal silica sol,327.18 par~s 30~ solids in water (LUDQX AM* colloidal silica~ E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company) 2. The following were separately mixed:

TiO2 (45% sollds disperslon35.46 parts in water3 Channel black (22~ solicls0.85 parts dispersion in water) Stirring was continued ~or 10-20 minutes. The resultlng composition was then sprayed to a frit coated alumlnum fry pan to a thickness o~ 0.2-0,6 mil (dry) and dried in air.

The coating compositions of the invention are ordin~rily applied to a thickness of about 20-30 microns (dry) and the coated article is then baked at a tempera-ture and for a time sufficient to fuse the fluoropolymer used.

The compositions o~ the invention are most useful for coating met~l cookware, especiall~ frypans, but the compositions can also be used to coat other articles requiring scratch resistant fluoropolymer coatings.
These other articles can be made of glass or any other mater-lal capable of withstanding the baking temperatures used.
For example, the compositions can be used to coat bearings~
valves, wire, metal foil, boilers9 pipesJ ship bottoms, oven liners, irorl soleplates~ waffle irons, ice cube trays, snow shovels a~d plows~ chutes, conveyors, dies, tools such ~-as saws, files and drills 9 hoppers and other industrial containers and mcilds. ~ ~--- .

Claims (10)

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
1. A coating composition consisting essentially of (a) about 80-99.8% by weight of the total of (a) and (b), of a particulate polymer of one or more monoethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon monomers completely substituted with fluorine atoms or a combination of fluorine atoms and chlorine atoms;
(b) about 0.2-20%, by weight of the total of (a) and (b), of mica particles, mica particles coated with pigment or metal flake;
the total of (a) and (b) equaling 100%;
(c) about 2-300%, by weight of (a), of one or more polymers of monoethylenically unsaturated monomers which depolymerize and whose depolymerization products vaporize in the temperature range of about 150°C below the fusion temperature of (a) to about the decomposition temperature of (a);
and (d) a liquid carrier, said coating composition being suitable for forming finishes having improved scratch resistance.
2. The composition of claim 1 in which (b) is present at a concentration of about 2-15%, by weight of the total of (a) and (b).
3. The composition of claim 1 in which (b) is present at a concentration of about 8-12%, by weight of the total of (a) and (b).
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polymer in (a) is PTFE.
5. The composition of claim 1 wherein the mica particles in (b) are coated with an oxide of titanium, zirconium, aluminum, zinc, antimony, tin, iron, copper, nickel, cobalt, chromium or vanadium.
6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polymer in (c) contains one or more monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid units.
7. The composition of claim 6 wherein the polymer in (c) is of one or more of an alkyl acrylate or methacrylate having 1-8 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, vinyl toluene and the acid unit is of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, or maleic acid, optionally esterified with a glycidyl ester of 4-14 carbon atoms (total).
8. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polymer in (c) is (1) a methyl methacrylate/2-ethylhexl acrylate/
methacrylic acid terpolymer, (2) a butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate/acrylic acid terpolymer esterified with a mixed ester having the structure where R1 is CH3 and R2 and R3 are lower alkyl groups, R1, R2 and R3 containing a total of 7-9 carbon atoms.

(3) a styrene/methyl methacrylate/acrylic acid terpolymer esterified with a mixed ester having the structure where R1 is CH3 and R2 and R3 are lower alkyl groups, R1, R2 and R3 containing a total of 7-9 carbon atoms.

or (4) a methyl methacrylate/ethyl acrylate/methacrylic acid terpolymer.
9. The composition of claim 1 wherein the carrier in (d) is water.
10. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polymer in (a) is PTFE, the mica particles in (b) are coated with titanium dioxide, the polymer in (c) is a methyl methacrylate/
ethyl acrylate/methacrylic acid terpolymer and the carrier in (d) is water.
