PTFE – Teflon Coated Fiberglass

PTFE (polytetrafluroethylene) coated high translucency fabric is a dynamic tensile material. Therefore, PTFE fabric is unmatched when it comes to its aesthetics and durability. This makes it ideal for large scale roof and facade membrane structures. PTFE coating is chemically inert and capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures in any climate. The low-surface adhesion properties result in a fabric membrane that are easily cleaned by rainwater and immune to UV radiation.

PTFE Fabric Performance

PTFE fabric membranes provide exceptional strength and durability. These features allow designers the ability to push the envelope of design and realize extraordinary results. Structurally, PTFE fiberglass fabric is waterproof, resists UV rays and is chemically inert. As a result, PTFE facades are exceptionally stain resistant and easy to clean. Also, PTFE fabric facades can reflect as much as 60 percent of visible light. This gives building owners and developers a cost-effective, low-maintenance option that looks great year after year after year.

Non-Stick Attributes

PTFE fabric’s “non-stick” attributes when coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) photo-catalyst produce self-cleaning properties are better than conventional PTFE coating. Self-cleaning actions called the Photo-catalytic decomposition process occurs as the TiO2 causes any organic matter (stain or pollutant) to decompose through simple oxidation. The residue does not stick to the surface and is washed away by an occasional rinsing or naturally with rain.

Natural Lighting

PTFE high-translucency fabric facades, are ideally suited for all commercial and retail market sectors by evenly dispersing daylight. As a result, this material is a very attractive option for facilities such as shopping malls, auto dealerships, sports or office complexes where interior landscaping is present. Inside facade translucent roof systems, plants have the opportunity to grow more naturally. This tensile roof material also provides a great stage for lends dramatic illumination. With the fabric membranes highly reflective coating, PTFE fabric facades serve as a beautiful backdrop for night time, interior lighting, or for graphic displays for advertising or brand awareness.
