Water-repellent coating and coating film

This application is continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/281,678, now abandoned, filed on Mar. 30, 1999; and, is based on patent application Ser. Nos. 217518/1998 filed on Jul. 31, 1998 in Japan and 030772/1999 filed on Feb. 9, 1999 in Japan, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference. A water-repellent coating has tetrafluoroethylene resin powder, silicone resin binder, and organic solvent. The tetrafluoroethylene resin powder has a ratio of the peak absorbance at 1,800 cmto the peak absorbance at 500 cmof 0.0001 to 0.05 exclusive. A coating film is formed by applying such a coating on a substrate. The coating has the properties of high water repellency, excellent anti-ice-coating, excellent anti-snow-coating, and so on, in spite of not having a large amount of fluororesin powder. In addition, the coating of film keeps the water repellency regardless of whether the coating film is immersed into water for a long time.
