Teflon coatings


I saw this on a page linked from Wikipedia, about teflon

Quote:

Dow Chemical researcher Donald Schmidt has come up with another fluorinated polymer that can be used like paint and cured with moderate (as opposed to high) heat. Even better, you wind up with a coating that's nonsticky on only one side, presumably the outside. The only drawback: Schmidt's coating won't withstand heat. That doesn't matter if you're trying to make, say, graffiti-proof wall tile, but don't look for Schmidtlon-coated frying pans anytime soon.


Does anyone have any information on this? I tried a google search, didnt find much. It sounds promising for a chemical resistant surface that an amature chemist could apply to labware.

Uncle Fester's "Vest Busters", while no doubt outdated by now, has some not exactly useless info on other High density polymer coatings for the amateur hobbyist, including modes of aquisition.
