| 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 LF-600X is a moderate OH number resin. It is typically used to formulate coil coatings where flexibility and excellent weatherability are required. The major market where LF-600X finds application is the architectural market. However, LF-600X is also being used in ambient cure applications where high coating flexibility is required, for example, in coatings for plastics. Product Characteristics: - Moderate OH functionality
- Excellent weatherability and water resistance, excellent chemical resistance
- Good adhesion to primers, fiberglass, plastics, and composites
- Wide range of gloss possible
- Curable at both ambient and elevated temperatures
- Suitable for shop and field applied coatings
