FEVE fluoropolymer-based coatings have been used in architectural and industrial coatings for nearly 40 years. Coatings formulated with fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) resins exhibit excellent corrosion resistance and weatherability, providing protection against UV rays, wind, precipitation, dirt and chemicals. This coating technology also provides long-term gloss and color retention for 30 years or more. Because of their long life, FEVE-based coating systems reduce lifecycle coating costs, improve asset utilization and eliminate the need for multiple painting cycles.
As the coatings industry looks to adopt greener technologies, while maintaining performance properties and cost control, interest in FEVE powder resins is gaining interest. They can provide exceptional weatherability, corrosion resistance and environmental benefits when used in exterior architectural coatings applications. These resins do not require a solvent (zero VOC), and have high recyclability and reclaimability. FEVE powder resins can be used in formulations to meet the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 2605 specification (FGIA), the highest standard for organic coatings on architectural aluminum extrusions and panels.
