FEVE based coatings can be used over steel. Typically, the FEVE resin would be part of the protective topcoat that is applied over a primer or possibly a primer and mid-coat....
Is it possible to use FEVE coatings for protecting wooden substrates?
Yes. We have tested FEVE resins in wood coatings. Formulations based on FEVE resins have shown significant improvement in water resistance after natural weathering....
What Is The Life Cycle Advantage Against Polysiloxane Based Resins?
We have seen greater gloss retention and better cracking resistance in accelerated UV exposures – both QUV-A and Xenon Arc weatherometers....
Using A Three Coat System, What Intermediate Coating Material Will Give Best Adhesion Given A Zinc Material Used As The Primer?
2K epoxy coatings. LF has excellent adhesion to all epoxy coatings when the epoxies are coated during their recoat window time....
What Is Life Expectancy If Correctly Applied?
It depends on what is expected during the life of the coating. FEVE coatings are superior in gloss retention and color retention. Coated structures in Japan still display good gloss and color retention after 28 years. It is estimated that these coatings will last 60 years before the structure needs to be recoated. If FEVE coatings are used in combination with the appropriate primers, they should h...
