Fluoroethylene Vinyl Ether (FEVE) Versus Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF): A Exploration Of The Benefits Of FEVE Resin Technology

Buyaka Shopping Mall, Istanbul, Turkey, Dilekci Architects, Photography Faruk Kurtulus
There are a whole host of benefits to the utilization of an FEVE resin over a PVDF. These benefits include aesthetic-based benefits, application-based benefits, and sustainability benefits. FEVE (fluoroethylene vinyl ether) was developed to address the shortcomings with traditional fluoropolymer resins like PVDF, they are manufactured by copolymerization of a fluoroethylene monomer with a vinyl ether monomer.

Upcoming Webinar: FEVE Architectural Coatings: High Performance Coatings for Expansive, Sustainable Design

565 Great Northern Way Pavilion, Perkins Will, Keith Panel Systems, Alucobond Spectra Red, Photography Keith Panel
In this one-hour course, we will discover the strengths and advantages of FEVE fluoropolymer topcoats. We will evaluate coating performance tests including accelerated weathering and real-time weathering and what the implications are for the life of different coatings.

Upcoming Webinar: Extending Infrastructure Life Using FEVE Bridge Coatings

Bridges, Design, Oklahoma City, BHAMArchitect, Industrial Coatings, Tnemec
In this one hour course, we will discover the strengths and advantages of FEVE fluoropolymer topcoats for both new bridges and maintenance re-coating of existing bridges. We will review the decades-long history of real-time and accelerated testing of FEVE fluoropolymer coatings in Japan due to their extensive use on bridge infrastructure. We will also assess the life-cycle cost advantage of FEVE topcoat despite its higher initial cost compared to other topcoat formulations.
