LUMIFLON fluoropolymer resins were developed in 1982 as the first solvent-soluble fluoropolymers in the world. LUMIFLON polymers consist of alternating fluoroethylene and alkyl vinyl ether segments (FEVE). The fluorinated segments provide outstanding UV stability, weather resistance, and chemical resistance, while the vinyl ether segments provide solvent compatibility and cross-linking sites. LUMIFLON resins are used to make ultra-weatherable coatings for architectural, aerospace, automotive, and industrial maintenance markets. LUMIFLON FE-4400 is a water emulsion product that was developed to meet VOC and HAPS regulations on many solvents in the U. S. FE-4400 is hydroxyl functional, and can be crosslinked with water-dispersible polyisocyanates. Like other LUMIFLON resins, FE-4400 is used to produce coatings with high gloss and excellent weatherability. This bulletin describes the use of FE-4400 to produce single component elevated cure coatings. These coatings are primarily coil coatings for architectural applications. Product Characteristics: - Moderate OH functionality
- Excellent weathering and chemical resistance
- Suitable for ambient cure and bake coatings
- Used in architectural ambient cure and coil coatings
