Hyperdispersant for use in fluorocarbon coating compositions

A hyperdispersant for use in a fluorocarbon coating composition, said hyperdispersant comprising the reaction product of:

• a polyglycidyl oligomer comprising a carbon chain having from 1 to 25 carbon atoms with at least one of an internal ether linkage and an internal ester linkage and comprising a plurality of epoxy groups;
• and
• at least one amino compound having a cyclic, heterocyclic, alkyl, or heteroalkyl structure substituted with at least one primary or secondary amine group for reacting with and opening one of said epoxy groups;
• wherein said hyperdispersant has amine functionality from said amino compound to aid in dispersion of fluorocarbon resins in the fluorocarbon coating composition and has hydroxyl functionality from opening at least one of said epoxy groups to enhance cross-linking with cross-linking agents in the fluorocarbon coating composition.
