The Sustainable Building Movement’s Effect On The Coatings Industry

LUMIFLON FEVE Resin, Sustainability Blog Post
Green construction aims to reduce the environmental effects of building. Its prevalence today is widespread as the need for sustainable alternatives continues to increase. Green building encompasses the entire construction process from inception to construction to eventual demolition, and includes building products, functionality, and maintenance.

LUMIFLON Coatings Dominate The International Bridge Market

LUMIFLON FEVE Resin, Kiyosu Bridge
Advanced coating technologies have been initiated to find low maintenance solutions for bridges that eliminate the need to repaint. Bridges are especially vulnerable to severe weathering and therefore environmental degradation. Dependent on geographic location, they are exposed to UV radiation, substantial temperature fluctuations, wind, and salt water.

LUMIFLON FEVE Resin Tested In International Space Station Experiments

Materials International Space Station Experiments, NASA, 1
The Materials International Space Station Experiments (MISSE) are a series of tests conducted on the International Space Station (ISS) to determine what effects different materials will have when exposed to a low Earth orbit (LEO) environment. The 1,500 different samples of polymers, coatings, composites, plastics, metals, etc, were placed in testing containers known as Passive Experiment Containers (PECs), which allowed the materials to be transferred to and from the ISS. The tests were conducted externally on the ISS and ultimately determined what affects the atmospheric conditions would have on each component.

LUMIFLON Based Coatings Widen Architectural Color Palette

Since its creation in 1982, fluororesin paints based on LUMIFLON have been produced by manufacturers around the world and applied to thousands of architectural structures. As the first solvent-soluble fluoropolymer for coatings to be cured at room temperature, LUMIFLON based coatings have color vibrancy not obtainable with PVDF technology. Due to the finishes’ crystal clear quality, LUMIFLON produces a brighter, cleaner range of colors than its PVDF counterpart.
