Description:
In this one-hour course, we will discover the strengths and advantages of FEVE 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. We will explore the many design possibilities that FEVE provides and assess the benefits of FEVE topcoats despite their higher initial cost compared to other topcoat formulations.

Learning Objectives:
-Define FEVE coating technology, history, and unique properties as well as its ease of application in the architectural market
-Discuss the importance of the form of coatings including color, finish, and gloss range
-Discover the function of a fluoropolymer coating in terms of performance, substrates, and types
-Describe the sustainability and environmental impact of long-life coatings
