Solvent Grades

LUMIFLON solvent based resins have been in use for more than 25 years, in applications as diverse as bridge coatings, coil coatings for architectural applications, automotive coatings, and aerospace coatings. These ultra-weatherable resins can be formulated into coatings with a wide range of gloss and color. They can be used in the field for recoating of structures, or in the shop to manufacture precoated panels. Typical applications are shown below.
