We have not tested reflective pigments in FEVE coatings. We have tested glass microspheres and saw no issues with incorporation....
How Does This Coating Hold Up With Graffiti?
We have had customers tell us that coatings with FEVE have improved cleanability. Due to the alternating chemistry of the polymer, it does not have the extremely low surface energy that you would see with a neat fluoropolymer. Because of this it is not anti-graffitti by itself. An additive would be needed for that....
How Is Recoat Properties Of Fluorourethane Over Itself Over Time?
When recoating an FEVE coating no special treatment is required compared to any conventional coating system. Depending on the age of the coating to be recoated, some surface prep may be required as might be needed in any coating system....
Some Polyurethanes Perform Differently When Provided In Different Colors. Have You Seen Any Such Variations With The FEVE Coatings?
FEVE coatings provide excellent color retention when high performance pigments are used. Sometimes a color changes due to gloss reduction. FEVE resin-based coatings retain their gloss for a long time, so this situation does not occur....
How Do You Lower The Gloss Without Detrimentally Affecting the Coating Properties?
Mineral and wax matting agents have been tested. Awareness of CPVC is helpful in optimizing performance properties when adding inorganic solids....
