Abstract
A durable coating which reduces ice adhesion and minimizes ice accumulation includes a polymeric binder and a film forming lubricant. The polymeric binder is selected from a fluoropolymer or silicone polymer having one or more reactive groups. The film forming lubricant is a lubricous fluoropolymer or silicone polymer. Methods of applying a durable coating are also disclosed.
Claims20
A coating composition comprising:
- a polymeric binder comprising a first polymer, the first polymer comprising a fluoropolymer or silicone polymer having one or more reactive groups;
- and
- a film forming lubricant comprising a second polymer, the second polymer comprising a fluoropolymer or silicone polymer, wherein the first polymer and second polymer are different.
An overhead conductor comprising:
- one or more conductive wires;
- and
- a coating surrounding the one or more conductive wires, the coating formed from a coating composition comprising:
- a polymeric binder comprising a first polymer, the first polymer comprising a fluoropolymer or silicone polymer having one or more reactive groups;
- and
- a film forming lubricant comprising a second polymer, the second polymer comprising a fluoropolymer or silicone polymer, wherein the first polymer and second polymer are different;
- and
- wherein ice adheres with about 50 kPa or less of force to the coating.
