Daikin America: ZEFFLE
Daikin’s ZEFFLE product line is an FEVE component designed to improve your outdoor and high-performance coatings and paints by making them more weather resistant, chemical resistant and enhancing their color retention.
Daikin’s ZEFFLE is perfect when you need a:
• Chemical resistant coating
• Durable exterior binder/resin
• Fluoropolymer coating
• Weather resistant coating
• Polyurethane coating
• Protective coating
• Film coating
• Anti-graffiti coating
• Coil coating
• Bridge paint
• Industrial coating
ZEFFLE extends the usable life of the coated part by increasing its durability and delaying the need for recoating or repainting.
Additionally, formulating coatings with the ZEFFLE technology allows end users to maintain their normal application schedules, whether it is on-site or in-factory.
- The coatings developed with ZEFFLE technology are suitable for an extensive range of coated substrates including steel, copper, aluminum, concrete, wood, plastics, and glass.
- They allow for coating formulations in a wide range of sheens, from gloss to matte finishes, and a rich palette of colors.
- Coatings formulated with ZEFFLE can be heat cured in the factory or air cured at ambient temperature whether in winter or summer conditions.
The ZEFFLE Experience
The Chemical Composition:
ZEFFLE Chemical Structure Advantage Over The Competition:
Climate change, UV radiation, corrosion, abrasion, moisture, and dirt are among the many outdoor challenges facing modern infrastructure. Resistance requirements for the infrastructure surfaces are as extreme as they are varied. Many coatings are designed to combat harsh conditions ZEFFLE offers the rare combination of both enhanced and long-lasting surface protection.
ZEFFLE assists in making your coating chemical resistant and weather resistant. It improves all your industrial coatings including bridge paints, film coating, coil coating, anti-graffiti coating, polyurethane coating, protective coating, and any other fluoropolymer coating.
Ultra-Weathering And Dirt Resistant Fluoro-Based Solution:
Daikin has developed a range of fluoro-based waterborne and solvent-borne resins known as ZEFFLE. This technology is dedicated to protecting infrastructure applications in markets such as Architecture, Industrial, Energy, Automotive, Transportation, and more.
Even when exposed to the most severe environmental conditions, the formulated ZEFFLE coatings help preserve a corrosion-free, clean and glossy coating appearance, enabled by its inherent hydrophobicity.
ZEFFLE Features:
- Provides excellent self-cleaning properties and resistance to corrosion thanks to its chlorine-free composition.
- Delivers low VOC properties with an available water-based version to meet the most demanding regulations.
- Affords excellent durability to the most sensitive surfaces, including metal, plastic, and other substrates.
- Offers effective protection on glass and ceramics when used with a primer.
ZEFFLE outperforms standard acrylic urethane and PVDF-based coatings.
