ETFE Foil
The fabric from which the future is made
ETFE foil roofs are ultra-transparent, light and are available in a variety of designs. The long life span of the foil, the ease of maintenance and low operating costs make ETFE extremely suitable for foil construction.
Here is a summary of the most important properties of ETFE-foils:
Here is a summary of the most important properties of ETFE-foils:
Weather resistance | No change to the mechanical values |
Permeability of light, air | 100% |
Foil (with 50-250µm thickness) | 95%m |
Fire classification | B1, flame resistant |
Surface finish | Self-cleaning |
Chemical resistance | Outstanding |
Scuff and wear resistance | Good, even when faced with flying sand in desert regions |
Dielectric strength | Good, as an insulating material, long-term heat resistance up to 150°C |
ETFE foils are available in virtually all colours and saturation levels. It is easy to print on the foils. The foil can also be used for lighting effects. It is possible to combine usage with photovoltaics.
