Why ETFE
When you need fluoropolymer inertness but PTFE is too soft or hard to form, ETFE delivers: architectural membranes, cable insulation, chemical linings and release sheets.

Frequently asked questions
What temperature is ETFE good for?
About 150°C continuous.
ETFE vs PTFE?
ETFE is tougher and formable; PTFE is more chemically inert and higher-temp.
Is ETFE used in buildings?
Yes — ETFE foil membranes are common for lightweight translucent roofs.
