ETFE

ETFE has a relatively high melting temperature and excellent chemical, electrical and high-energy radiation resistance properties.

Employing heat welding, tears can be repaired with a patch or multiple sheets assembled into larger panels.

[4] ETFE systems can control light transmission through the application of plasma coatings, varnishes or printed frit patterns.

[9] An example of its use is as pneumatic panels to cover the outside of the football stadium Allianz Arena or the Beijing National Aquatics Centre (a.k.a.

As a dual laminate, ETFE can be bonded with FRP as a thermoplastic liner and used in pipes, tanks, and vessels for additional corrosion protection.

In addition, ETFE exhibits a high-energy radiation resistance and can withstand moderately high temperatures for a long period.
