The Quest For 100-Year Bridge Coatings In Japan

LUMIFLON FEVE Resin, Kiyosu Bridge
Categories Technical
Coatings for steel bridges are used to prevent corrosion and subsequent degradation of structural properties. Since the use of zinc rich primers in the 1970’s, it has been a challenge to match the longetivity of the primers with existing and developing topcoats until the early 1980’s with the introduction of Fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE). FEVE resin, a fluoropolymer resin for coatin...

Categories Technical
The distinctiveness of the LUMIFLON/FEVE resin technology often causes the experienced coating formulator to wonder about the versatility of these raw materials. Many of our customers have asked us about the friendliness of these resins toward other resin types. In response, we have done several compatibility studies with both the solvent based resins and the water-borne emulsions. Our results hav...

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...

Categories Technical
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.
