When these fluoropolymer coatings were applied as protective coatings, they were used as a topcoat for coatings systems, and they protected under-layer basecoats and substrates from UV attack. More than 20 years have passed since FEVE coatings were commercialized, and their performance on many bridges and skyscrapers has been proven.
Because of their unique properties, it is possible to use FEVE-based coatings in applications that are difficult for other fluoropolymer coatings. These new applications have also been developed.
