Advances in Fluoropolymer Resins for Long Life Coatings

Fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) resins were developed to overcome some of the problems associated with the use of fluoropolymers in coatings. These resins, which yield topcoats with lifetimes exceeding 60 years, can be cured at ambient temperatures for field applications, or at elevated temperatures in the shop. New FEVE resins have been developed to enable formulators to meet air quality regulations while still producing coatings with excellent durability.

These resins, which yield topcoats with lifetimes exceeding 60 years, can be cured at ambient temperatures for field applications, or at elevated temperatures in the shop. New FEVE resins have been developed to enable formulators to meet air quality regulations while still producing coatings with excellent durability. These include solid resins, which can be solubilized with VOC and HAPS exempt solvents, water emulsions, and water dispersions. In addition, new resins with silanol functionality allow the production of coatings which cure without using isocyanates. It has also been found that FEVE water emulsions, which have excellent weatherability but average physical properties when used alone, can be used to improve the weathering of conventional resins like acrylic emulsions. The resulting fortified systems can be used for architectural trade sale paints, concrete coatings, and direct to metal coatings.
