What are the uses of fluoropolymers
Due to the low surface tension of fluoropolymers, films made from them (such as ETFE) have self-cleaning function, which can wash away dust with only rainwater flushing.
Fluoropolymer films have excellent tear resistance, puncture resistance, and hail resistance. In addition, fluoropolymers have self flame retardancy and can prevent dripping. These properties make fluoropolymers suitable for use in the construction industry.
The thickness of the extruded fluoropolymer film is usually 100-250 μ m, which can be connected by heat sealing. In Japan, fluoropolymer films have been applied in sports stadiums, swimming pools, botanical gardens, and large greenhouses.
ETFE film appeared at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Asahi Glass provided 150000 square meters of Aflex film for manufacturing the ceiling of Allianz Arena football stadium in Munich. The majority of the structure of the stadium where the opening ceremony of the World Cup was held was made of ETFE film. ETFE film can make the connection between walls and ceilings smoother, and also allow grass to grow through a certain amount of sunlight. It can also be used as a monitoring screen for walls and ceilings.
