Upcoming Talk: Environmentally Friendly Fluoropolymer Resins for Coatings

LUMIFLON USA, FEVE Resin, Environmental Coatings, Dinosaur Bridge
Categories Webinars/Events/News
LUMIFLON (Fluoroethylene vinyl ether or FEVE) fluoropolymer resins were developed over 30 years ago. These resins are used to make ultra-weatherable fluorourethane coatings for architectural, industrial, automotive, aerospace, and alternative energy markets. In some cases, topcoats made with these resins have expected lifetimes exceeding 60 years. These coatings are especially useful in areas where high levels of UV exposure are present, including desert areas and countries close to the equator.
