Life Cycle Cost Analysis: LUMIFLON vs Conventional Coatings

Categories Technical
LUMIFLON is a fluoropolymer resin composed of alternating fluoroethylene and vinyl ether segments (FEVE). Polymers with this unique chemical structure produce coating formulations with exceptional durability, weatherability, and chemical resistance. In the U.S., coating systems are priced in $/gallon. However coating cost per gallon or coating cost per surface area is not a true measure of the value of a coating system.

FEVE Resins Respond To The Limitations of Fluoropolymers in Coatings

LUMIFLON FEVE Resin Chemical Structure
Categories Technical
Perhaps the best known fluoropolymer resin used for coatings is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). This resin is supplied as a dispersion in a high boiling solvent, usually blended with an acrylic resin at a 70/30 fluoropolymer/acrylic ratio. PVDF is typically applied as a coil coating, requiring processing at high temperatures in a plant setting to successfully form a protective coating. PVDF has be...

Repainting and maintenance work on buildings, bridges, and other structures can cause both financial and operating disruptions. There are also significant environmental costs associated with repainting operations. FEVE resins minimize these costs. In addition to low VOC content, low life cycle costs make FEVE technology a more environmentally friendly choice.
