LUMIFLON™ , Fluorinated Resins for Ultra-Durable Coatings
A talk by Dr Floris Kooistra, Technical Service Centre Manager
Dr Floris Kooistra will give a talk at this year’s Middle East Coatings Show, focusing on the use of LUMIFLON™ resins for ultra-durable coatings for architectural -, industrial – and heavy duty applications.
LUMIFLON™ is generically known as an FEVE resin and its unique alternating structure of fluoroethylene and vinyl ether segments is key to its ultra-weatherability. It is available in a full product range of solvent borne, water borne and powder resin technology. LUMIFLON™ is offered as an OH functional resin, allowing for crosslinking in traditional polyurethane chemistry, but also as a high molecular weight resin in emulsion form for applications where crosslinking is not desired.
LUMIFLON™ coatings offer brilliant, long-lasting colours with a wide gloss range. Due to the product’s ability to resist UV degradation, corrosion and chemical exposure, LUMIFLON™ continues to look good (up to 60 years!), without any required maintenance. Its unique chemical structure furthermore improves resistance to corrosion from water, oxygen and even chloride ions, ensuring a longer life for industrial structures such as bridges.
Dr Kooistra’s talk will be on Tuesday, 14 March 2015 at 2.30 pm.
