Water Emulsions

LUMIFLON^® emulsion grade resins were developed as solvent free alternatives to traditional fluororesins. These resins can be formulated into single component or two component coatings that have excellent weatherability.

The development of LUMIFLON^® emulsions involved modifications of the LUMIFLON^® chemical structure, shown below.
