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-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. Product Characteristics: - Low OH functionality
- Good weathering and chemical resistance
- Blends improve weathering of standard coating systems
- Used for field applied architectural, concrete, and direct-to-metal coatings
