| Q: |
Is field application possible with ZEFFLE? |
| A: |
All ZEFFLE grades can be cured at ambient temperature. Especially waterborne type SE-series base paint can meet stringent VOC regulation. |
| Q: |
What kind of substrates are suitable for ZEFFLE coatings? |
| A: |
ZEFFLE can be applied on metals such as stainless steel and aluminum. Besides metals, ZEFFLE can be applied on wood, concrete, plastics, glass and aged old coatings. |
| Q: |
What kind of coating methods are recommended for ZEFFLE coatings? |
| A: |
No special technique is necessary. ZEFFLE coatings are applied with conventional spray, roller and brush coatings. |
| Q: |
How about cost performance of ZEFFLE compared with standard type coatings? |
| A: |
It is true that the cost of the ZEFFLE resins are three to five times of standard type paint base resins. In the long run, however, ZEFFLE coatings have cost advantage derived from excellent durability. Majority of cost for coatings are not resin cost, but labor, scaffold and maintenance costs. |
| Q: |
How does the ZEFFLE coating look like? |
| A: |
ZEFFLE can offer wide selection of gloss and color, which are not available with baked type fluoropolymer coating systems. Bright and vivid color coatings could broaden the application fields of ZEFFLE. |
| Q: |
How good is the weatherability of ZEFFLE? |
| A: |
Gloss retention of ZEFFLE after four years actual exposure test at Okinawa still shows more than 70%, although it depends on the colors. Examination by Scanning Electro Microscope shows little damages or changes on the surface of the coatings. |
| Q: |
How long is the service life? |
| A: |
With an optimal formulation, an accelerated weathering test result shows twenty years durability in terms of gloss retention and color change. |
