Daikin America: Zeffle

Daikin’s Zeffle product line is an FEVE component designed to enhance the weatherability, color retention, and chemical resistance required of outdoor and high-performance coatings and paints

These enhancements extend the usable life of the coated part by increasing durability and delaying the need for recoating or repainting.

Additionally, formulating coatings with the Zeffle technology does not impact the application and schedule flexibility for the end user, 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 formulation 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 factory or air cured at ambient temperature whether in winter or summer.

 

The Zeffle Portfolio

Zeffle is a Daikin brand and product line that is derived from tetrafluoroethylene to provide paint producers with outstanding weather-ability, chemical resistance, and color retention. Zeffle resins have field-proven performance in long-lasting coating demonstrated for 20 years and longer.
