A coated article comprises a composite substrate with an outer surface and a coating comprising a protective bilayer. The bilayer includes a first thermoplastic protective layer comprising an inner face coupled to the composite substrate outer surface. The first protective layer is a first acrylic or acrylic-based polymer. The bilayer also includes a second thermoplastic protective layer coupled to the first protective layer at an interface. The second protective layer includes an outer face that opposes the interface. The second protective layer is formed from a blend of a first thermoplastic polymer and a second thermoplastic polymer. The first thermoplastic polymer comprises a fluoropolymer comprising polymerized monomer units derived from a hydrofluoro-olefin or a perfluorinated alkene or a combination thereof. The second thermoplastic polymer comprises a second acrylic or acrylic-based polymer. The first thermoplastic polymer is at least about 75 wt. % of the polymer blend.

The invention relates to very high melt flow fluoropolymer compositions, having low melt viscosities. The fluoropolymers have low molecular weights of from 5 kDa to 200 kDa and melt viscosities of less than 2 kilopoise (kP) at 232° C. and 100 s.sup.−1. One use for the high melt flow fluoropolymers is in the formation of very small diameters fibers, useful for melt-blown non-woven materials. Fiber diameters of less than 9 microns, and preferably 500 to 2000 nm can be produced.
