National Highways-approved Coatings | A&I Coatings

Fluoropolymer Coatings from A&I Coatings for the Bridge & Infrastructure Sector

FEVE FLUOROPOLYMER COATINGS

Our partnership with National Highways (formerly Highways England) commenced in August 2018, helping us establish a new Highways England, (BCF approved) paint Item Number of 195 for Fluoro Ethylene Vinyl Ether resin-based topcoats. A&I’s SOCOTEC- tested coating systems achieved HAPAS approvals with the British Board of Agrément in December 2020.

We are proud to be empowering structural designers and specifiers to progressively explore the new boundaries of this innovative technology and use this sustainable paint system to dramatically improve life cycles up to sixty years to major maintenance.

Significant reduction in Lifecycle Costs

Nearly 60% reduction in life cycle costs compared to traditional paints

A big step towards net-zero goals

Substantial reduction in repainting and maintenance requirements, helping you bring down the overall emissions and carbon footprint of your project.

Unrivaled Durability and UV Resistance

Extended lifecycle to major maintenance of up to 60 years
