Abstract:

Damage to buildings, bridges, and infrastructure by corrosion and other environmental processes costs billions of dollars per year. Paints and coatings can be used to protect existing and new infrastructure from degradation by the elements. Coatings based on fluoropolymer resins have lifetimes exceeding 30 years, leading to substantially lower life cycle costs compared to conventional coatings. Fluoropolymer coatings have been successfully used on over 150,000 structures worldwide.
