Protective coatings fight deterioration caused by environmental elements, while also reducing maintenance costs and increasing the life of the finish. Of all types of architectural coatings, only one class combines superior corrosion resistance and long-term preservation of appearance, with maximum flexibility for different substrates, application conditions and project needs. Fluoroethylene Vinyl Ether (FEVE) resins give coatings the ability to solve problems associated with conventional coating formulas, while providing environmental and cost benefits and advanced performance on new or existing surfaces. This course will give architects and engineers what they need to know in order to evaluate and specify architectural coatings that will protect and enhance projects for many decades.
