AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. ETFE Film

Made of ETFE, this high-performance fluoropolymer film possesses exceptional weatherability, thermal stability, transparency and anti-fouling properties, making it ideal for a wide range of applications in industries as diverse as electronics, aerospace, solar cells, semiconductors, interior design and building architecture. The film has a thermal melting point of 260 °C and a linear thermal expansion coefficient of 9.4. High tensile elongation (200 – 510) and tear strength mean that Fluon® ETFE fluoropolymer film will not easily rip or scratch over time. Light transmission is higher than 90%, allowing more penetration of sunlight than ordinary glass, which is in the 80% range. ETFE film is also lighter than glass and highly resistant to soil, making it easy to use as a construction material.
