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.

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.

The Role of Protective Coatings In The Architectural Market

LUMIFLON FEVE Resin, Lewis School, ALPOLIC Panels, MPCA
Categories Architecture
The architectural and construction industry have been specifying and utilizing protective coatings for generations. These coatings work to prevent deterioration caused by impact and environmental factors. They are used to maintain durability and aesthetics, while greatly reducing maintenance costs by increasing the life of the finish. Without protection from ultra-violet radiation, wind, rain, and other environmental impacts, a beautifully constructed project can quickly lose its luster. These factors can result in deterioration and render aesthetics awash of their former brilliance, leading to extensive costs to repair, correct and restore.
