Sponsor: AGC, Inc. LUMIFLON® FEVE Resins were developed by Asahi Glass in 1982 as the world’s first solvent-soluble fluoropolymers. In the past 35 years, fluoropolymer coatings based on LUMIFLON® FEVE Resins have been produced by paint manufacturers around the world, and applied to over 150,000 structures. The use of LUMIFLON ® FEVE Resins offers substantial life cycle cost savings compared to conventional coating technologies. Please visit www.lumiflonusa.com.

Attendees are eligible to receive AIA LU. This webinar will present the strengths and advantages of FEVE fluoropolymer topcoats. The course will evaluate coating performance tests including accelerated weathering and real-time weathering, as well as what the implications are for the life of different coatings. Additionally, the webinar will explore the many design possibilities that FEVE technology provides and assess the sustainability benefits of FEVE topcoats despite their higher initial cost compared to other topcoat formulations. Learning Objectives: • Define FEVE coating technology and examine the forms and finishes available to meet a host of varied application environments safely. • Discuss the characteristics of the four main types of FEVE resins and explain how they are positively contributing to a healthier environment. • Explore how the composition of FEVE promotes sustainability and improved indoor air quality efforts. • Analyze case studies to see how FEVE coatings are helping to reduce hazardous wastes while increasing the lifecycle of buildings.

Presenter: Kristen Blankenship AGC, Inc. - Lumiflon Blankenship has a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from the University of Evansville. She has spent the last 19 years in the coatings industry working for various coating, chemical and material manufacturing companies. She began her career as an analytical chemist at Red Spot Paint (Evansville, Indiana) focusing on defect analysis. This experience allowed her to develop a unique approach to formulation with a focus on structure-property relationships. She eventually became a UV-curable coatings formulator at Red Spot and later moved up chain to Cytec Industries, Inc. (now Alnex) as a technical service chemist in the area of waterborne liquid coating resins. In January of 2013, she accepted the position of technical service chemist at AGC Chemicals Americas, based in Exton, Pennsylvania. After nearly three years working with Lumiflon resins in the lab, she moved into a business development role. She now supports strategic accounts in developing high performance coating technology based on Lumiflon FEVE resins.
