VITREFLON 790 is a high performance high solids fluoropolymer coating that can cure at room temperature or under low bake conditions. This gives excellent UV resistance and weathering performance. It has good application properties and chemical resistance. The ‘State of the Art’ technology lowers the lifetime maintenance cost of coating in a variety of environments. Vitreflon 790 two pack fluoropolymer coating is currently being used for many applications where long term colour stability and gloss retention is critical. Some of these applications include: • Bridges • Compressed Fibre Cement and decorative facades • Steelwork and metal fabrication • Fibreglass composites
The fluoropolymer remains at the forefront of protective coating technology today due its extremely durable nature. Chemically a fluoropolymer coating is a fluoroethylene-vinyl ether alternating copolymer. The energy of the alternative main chain bond between fluoroethylene and vinyl ether is higher than the maximum UV energy of sunlight, and so in principal, it does not degrade. In contrast, other coatings such as polyurethane break down and deteriorate due to their low bond energy.
