Abstract
Abstract Aqueous dispersion of tetrafluoroethylene polymer is made storage stable by adding to the dispersion a moderate amount of nonionic surfactant, e.g., from about 1 to 6% by weight thereof, and about 1 to 6% by weight of an essentially hydrophilic water soluble alkylene oxide polymer such as polyethylene glycol. The resultant dispersion is useful as a coating composition, for example to coat glass fabric, with a minimal loss of tetrafluoroethylene polymer by settling in the dispersion during storage of the dispersion prior to coating.
