Designed by architecture firm, Coarchitecture, the Desjardins building in De Bourgogne, Quebec is a multi-use, four-story building that sits atop a parking garage. The design marries form and function, with an emphasis on “large windows to allow for natural lighting to the central core.” The building’s facade utilizes aluminum panels that are coated with Akzo Nobel’s Interpon D3000 coatings; Lumiflon FEVE-based powder coatings with unparalleled durability and color retention characteristics.

UPCOMING WEBINAR: FEVE Hybrid Fluoropolymer Technology – Still The Face Of High Performance Coatings

Lumiflon FEVE fluoropolymer based coatings have been featured in some of modern architecture’s most prominent buildings. Boasting higher durability, chemical resistance, longevity and color preservation than any other fluoropolymer coatings system, such as PVDF; these coatings also surpass the requirements of today’s most stringent product certifications. Since their introduction in the early 1980’s, FEVE fluoropolymer coatings continue to be the choice of high performance coatings for the most demanding specifications.

Lumiflon Coating Supports Las Vegas City Hall Sustainability Goals

With an emphasis on sustainability, it was imperative that the materials used in construction be of the highest performace. For the steel struts of the entire campus, a coating that would achieve AAMA 2605 level performance was requested. To provide the best possible solution, Americana Powder Finishing applied IFS Coatings’ IFS500 FP coatings enriched with Lumiflon FEVE fluoropolymer resin to these surfaces, a coating that exceeds the performance requirements of AAMA 2605.

FEVE Coating Enhances Aesthetic Of Vancouver Aquarium

To refresh the image of Canada’s largest marine science institution, Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership (MCMP) architects designed the Vancouver Aquarium that alludes to the flowing motion of water. Further complimenting the dynamic shape of the structure, the Alucobond Spectra façade panels shift colors when viewed from different angles. These façade panels feature a Lumiflon FEVE resin based topcoat, which met the requirements necessary from the project’s architect.

Structural Steel Of Retractable Roof Protected By Lumiflon Coating

Serving as Salt Lake City’s high-end retail and dining destination, the City Creek Center showcases one of the most advanced roofing systems available. The first of its kind in Utah, the S-shaped retractable roof consists of 36 structural steel “whalebone ribs,” used to support glass panels, allowing for ample daylighting to the patrons below. Using a Lumiflon FEVE fluoropolymer based Tnemec coating system, fabricators at Ducworks, Inc. were able to provide an excellent color match of the structural steel to the roof’s metal frames.
