Features & Benefits

Applications & Uses

Applications

Fluon® ETFE, a thermoplastic fluoropolymer developed by AGC, is the raw material used to produce Fluon® ETFE FILM. It is an ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer. Fluon® ETFE has good mechanical properties and mouldability and can be extruded, injection molded and blow molded. Fluon® ETFE has excellent characteristics that make it suitable for many kinds of applications.

 

Safety and heat resistance

Fluon® ETFE FILM meets UL94VTM-0 and is suitable for use within the wide temperature range of -200°C to 200°C .

 

Chemical resistance

Fluon® ETFE FILM is highly resistant to most chemicals and solvents.

 

Weatherability

Fluon® ETFE FILM is resistant to ultraviolet light and is suitable for long-term use outdoors. Film subjected to a 16000-hour accelerated weathering test (comparable to over 30 years’ exposure) showed no signs of deterioration.

 

Light transmittance

Fluon® ETFE FILM has excellent light transmittance making it ideal for use as a protective film for solar cells, greenhouses, roofing and architectural facades.

 

Anti-stick properties

Fluon® ETFE FILM possesses excellent antistick and antifouling characteristics as well as excellent release properties.

 

Electrical properties

Fluon® ETFE FILM exhibits high dielectric strength even in its thinnest form. It has a low dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent over a wide frequency range.

 

Electronics

Fluon® ETFE FILM’s anti-stick properties and resistance to temperatures over 200°C make it suitable for use as a release film for printed circuit boards and electronic components.

 

Roofing and architectural facades

Fluon® ETFE FILM is used in many modern architectural constructions. Examples include the World Cup Allianz Arena football stadium in Munich, Germany and the National Stadium and the National Aquatics Center in Beijing.

 

Interior finishing

Fluon® ETFE FILM is used indoors in both commercial and residential buildings to give a wipe-clean and heat-resistant surface.

 

Photovoltaics

Fluon® ETFE FILM provides long-term protection for photovoltaics. It has excellent weatherability with good mechanical properties and light transmittance. Its flexibility makes it ideal for use on curved surfaces.

 

F-CLEAN® film for greenhouses

F-CLEAN® is ETFE film developed especially for greenhouses. It has high light transmittance and weatherability, plus other features required for greenhouses, including UV-control and a unique anti-dripping treatment technology.
