UMIFLON is one of many quality products made by AGC – Asahi Glass Company – established in Japan in 1907. In just over a century, AGC has gone from a small glass company to a diversified, multibillion-dollar enterprise. AGC first developed its solvent-soluble LUMIFLON fluoropolymer in 1982 — and it didn’t take long for manufacturers to discover that this resin was different. LUMIFLON resins allow coatings to be cured at room temperature. For the first time, the durability, weatherability and long-term cost effectiveness of fluoropolymer coatings were now available for field application....

lumiflon a e s t h e t i c s : LUMIFLON-based coatings offer brilliant, long-lasting colors with a wide gloss range. They simply look great – and keep looking great year after year. LUMIFLON’s unique chemical structure improves resistance to corrosion from water, oxygen and even chloride ions, ensuring a longer life for industrial structures like bridges with far less need for repainting . s u s t a i n a b i l i t y : With its long lifespan, LUMIFLON eliminates the environmental impact of repeated repainting and recoating – just one of the reasons LUMIFLON coatings can contribute to LEED...

a e s t h e t i c s Because LUMIFLON-based coatings offer crisp, clean colors and a wide range of gloss, designers and builders choose them to achieve a superior look from day one. And with LUMIFLON’s ability to resist UV degradation, corrosion, and the ill effects of chemical exposure, projects using LUMIFLON continue looking good for years to come with little or no maintenance required. That means markedly less fading, discoloration and chalking for the life of the coating – estimated at up to 60 years! Meanwhile, AGC’s research and development team continues to press LUMIFLON’s aesthetic...

s u s t a i n a b i l i t y The weatherability, longevity and the ability to formulate low VOC coatings with LUMIFLON resins are all features that contribute to its sustainability, a concept meaning: “to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments” (www.gsa.gov). “Reduce consumption of non-renewable resources” LUMIFLON coatings can last up to 30 years without fading, reducing life cycle costs related to the maintenance, re-application and/or replacement of underlying surfaces. On existing roofs, a LUMIFLON topcoat can stop the...

Industry insiders know that, from buildings and bridges to water towers and automobiles, LUMIFLON-based coatings look great. But they look even better when cold, hard data comparing LUMIFLON with high-performance polyesters and other competitors are collected from tests and studies conducted in laboratories, simulators and harsh, real-world environments. Advantages of FEVE Based Coatings • Ambient or elevated temperature cure – • OH functional – polyurethane chemistry, use field or shop applied coatings standard paint equipment • Solvent soluble – clean crisp colors and a wide •...

There are those who make buying decisions based on price – and then there are those who are more interested in value. W ith LUMIFLON, the difference is clear. • LUMIFLON-based coatings maintain gloss and color when applied to buildings, bridges, water towers, and other structures for between 20 and 60 years – significantly longer than other coating types. • LUMIFLON resins protect steel, aluminum, fiberglass, concrete, and other materials from corrosion, sun, wind, rain and chemical exposure. Over time, all that protection also protects your bottom line. Total life cycle costs, factoring in...
