Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method of forming a polyfluorocarbon coating on a razor blade cutting edge comprises subjecting a fluorocarbon polymer having a molecular weight of at least 1,000,000 in dry powder form to ionizing irradiation to reduce the molecular weight of the polymer forming a dispersion of the irradiated polymer in a volatile organic liquid, spraying the dispersion on to a razor blade cutting edge, and heating the coating obtained to sinter the polyfluorocarbon. The polyfluorocarbon preferably is polytetrafluoroethylene and irradiation preferably is effected to obtain a telomer having a molecular weight of about 25,000.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 23, 1992 and granted May 29, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 23, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 23, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
