Provided is a solution for forming a surface protective resin member, containing: a fluorine-containing acrylic resin having a hydroxyl value of 40 to 280; a fluorine-free acrylic resin having a hydroxyl value of 40 to 280; and a polyether polyol or a polyester polyol.

Techniques regarding chemical compounds comprising perfluoroaryl groups that can facilitate post-synthesis functionalization are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a chemical compound. The chemical compound can comprise a molecular backbone. The chemical compound can also comprise a pendent functional group bonded to the molecular backbone. The pendent functional group can comprise a perfluoroaryl group and a methylene group.

This invention provides flame retardant compositions comprised of or formed from components comprising a sulfur-containing compound and at least one isocyanate-reactive brominated flame retardant.

The invention relates to an intertwined multilayer primer/fluoropolymer coating on the glass substrate. The final coating has excellent wet adhesion to glass, good weathering, durability, chalking resistance, chemical resistance, and dirt pickup resistance. The coating is an environmentally friendly aqueous, fluoropolymer coating composition. The coating process involves applying a polyurethane primer to the glass substrate, and partially, but not completely crosslinking this primer coating. An aqueous hydroxyl-functional fluoropolymer coating is then applied to the partially cross-linked primer coating, and the coating allowed to fully cure. The invention also relates to the intertwined multilayer primer/fluoropolymer coating on the glass substrate. The final coating has excellent wet adhesion to glass, good weathering, durability, chalking resistance, chemical resistance, and dirt pickup resistance.
