Protective coatings fight deterioration caused by environmental elements, while also reducing maintenance costs and increasing the life of the finish. The design professional will explore different coatings, specifically fluoropolymers, and their benefits. Through this one-hour course, you will also learn how next-generation fluoropolymer coating technology exhibits excellent weatherability and environmental advantages.
This course will conclude with a brief Q&A.
Learning Objectives:
Define FEVE and discuss FEVE coating technology, grades and unique weatherability properties.
Discuss real-time and accelerated testing of FEVE coatings that demonstrate their proven performance in terms of corrosion resistance, and color/gloss retention over long periods of time.
Assess the life-cycle cost advantage and sustainability benefits of FEVE topcoats despite their higher initial cost compared to other topcoat formulations.
Discuss guidelines for proper specification and explore several real-world applications.
