AGC Chemicals Americas Inc. will present on the latest developments in formulating corrosion-resistant coatings with fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) water-based resins at the 2019 Waterborne Symposium.
Donald Lawson, senior applications chemist, will discuss water-based 1K FEVE coatings formulations with improved corrosion resistance. Click here to read a summary of the presentation.
In addition, AGC will feature LUMIFLON FEVE resins for coatings at booth 206. AGC coatings technology experts will be on hand to discuss the chemistry, performance and applications of these high-performance FEVE resins.
LUMIFLON FEVE resins have been used in paints and coatings on building exteriors and facades for more than 30 years. Topcoats formulated with FEVE-based resins offer outstanding gloss and color retention and protect metal and concrete structures from corrosion. When used on buildings, bridges, aircraft, automobiles, water towers and solar panels, FEVE-based topcoats do not degrade from UV light, wind or rain and can be formulated to last 30 years or more. FEVE resins are available for almost any type of coating, including solvent-based, powder, environmentally friendly low-VOC and HAPs-free coatings, and water-based coatings.
LUMIFLON® FEVE Resins
LUMIFLON® is the first solvent-soluble fluoropolymer resin for coatings that can be cured at room temperature or at elevated temperatures. LUMIFLON resins, used in topcoats, are ultra-weatherable, and maintain their excellent appearance on buildings, bridges, and other structures, as well as on aircraft, automobiles, and solar panels.
LUMIFLON coatings protect steel, aluminum and other metals as well as concrete from degradation by UV light, wind and rain, and corrosion. A transparent fluororesin, LUMIFLON can be used to make both clear and pigmented coatings. Because of their ultra-weatherability, LUMIFLON based coatings offer substantial life cycle cost savings over conventional coatings. The resins can be formulated into coatings with a range of gloss (from high gloss to flat finishes) in more than 230 colors. LUMIFLON resins are available for almost any type of coating, including solvent based resins, powder coating resins, environmentally friendly solid resins for low VOC and HAPS free coatings, and water emulsion and water dispersion resins.

- Alternative Energy: Solar panels, wind towers
corrosion prevention:
LUMIFLON’s unique chemical structure improves resistance to corrosion from water, oxygen and even chloride ions, ensuring a longer life for industrial structures like bridges with far less need for repainting.
Sustainability
With its long lifespan, LUMIFLON eliminates the environmental impact of repeated repainting and recoating – just one of the reasons LUMIFLON coatings can contribute to LEED certification.
outperforms the competition:
No other coating type can match LUMIFLON’s combination of attractiveness, application flexibility and – as tests and studies confirm – long life and weathering resistance.
lower life cycle cost:
Because they last so much longer, LUMIFLON-based coatings can substantially reduce any project’s life space cycle costs, including maintenance costs, replacement costs and recoating costs.
LUMIFLON FE-4300 is a water emulsion product that was developed to enable formulators to meet VOC and HAPS regulations on many solvents in the U. S. LUMIFLON FE-4300 has low hydroxyl functionality, and is designed for use in single component coatings. Like other LUMIFLON resins, FE-4300 is used to produce coatings with high gloss and excellent weatherability. FE-4300 can also be used in blends with standard acrylic resins to substantially improve weathering of these conventional products.
