Summary
FEVE resin technology is an alternative choice for exterior
coatings, both pigmented coatings and clearcoats.
They possess some interesting properties that expand the list of
formulating tools which can be used in the pursuit of high-
performance industrial maintenance coatings.
FEVE resin technology can be easily incorporated into many
standard solvent-based and water-based formulations.

Recent discoveries in FEVE technology showcase the impressive properties of Fluoroethylene Vinyl Ether (FEVE) resins, such as weatherability, chemical resistance, gloss, solubility, and crosslinking. These resins offer ambient cure for field applications, OH functionality for crosslinking, solvent solubility, and a wide range of gloss levels. They exhibit UV resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical/solvent resistance, making them ideal for various coatings in architectural, industrial, aerospace, and marine applications.
