Comparative Analysis

Industry insiders know that LUMIFLON-based coatings look great when applied to buildings, bridges, water towers, etc. But they look even better when data is gathered that compares them to high-performance polyesters and other coatings.  Numerous tests and studies have been conducted in laboratories, simulators and harsh real-world environments.

The results confirm what you see with your own eyes every time you encounter an attractive structure coated with LUMIFLON. It outperforms the competition.

Advantages of FEVE Based Coatings
  • Ambient or elevated temperature cure – field or shop applied coatings
  • Solvent soluble – clean crisp colors and a wide gloss range
  • Versatile – solvent grade, solid, water based and powder coating resins offered
  • OH functional – polyurethane chemistry, use standard paint equipment
  • Fluoropolymer segments-ultra-weatherable and corrosion resistant
  • Longer life cycle – up to 60 years
