| 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-916F is a low molecular weight, high OH number resin. When LF-916F is dissolved in the appropriate exempt solvents, zero and low VOC and HAPS-free fluorourethane coatings can be formulated. The resin is typically used in applications where outstanding weathering is required along with excellent chemical resistance. Markets include aerospace coatings, architectural coatings, heavy duty industrial coatings, automotive coatings, and coatings for concrete.. Product Characteristics: - High OH functionality
- Excellent weatherability and water resistance, excellent chemical resistance
- Good adhesion to primers, metals, fiberglass, plastics, and composites
- Zero/low VOC and HAPS free coatings are possible
- Wide range of gloss possible
- Curable at both ambient and elevated temperatures
- Suitable for shop and field applied coatings
