Fluoro-olefine vinyl ether copolymer (FEVE) has been well known as highly durable polymer for paints industry. FEVE has been widely used for ambient temperature curable solvent-borne paints. In this report, recent developments of FEVE copolymer are reported for mild-solvent paint system and water-borne paint system. Firstly, mineral spirit soluble FEVE copolymers are mentioned for both 1-component and crosslinkable 2-component mild-solvent paint systems. Secondly, FEVE aqueous dispersion polymers are mentioned for non-crosslinkable 1-component latex paint system, crosslinkable 2-component emulsion paint system with isocyanate as containing high OH value and for 1-component crosslinkable emulsion paint system containing carboxyl functionality reactive with hydrazide.
