High-performance fluororesin
ETFE Film

Features of High-performance fluoropolymer ETFE film

Earthquake-proof

ETFE film (250 μm) weighs approximately 440 g/㎡ and, as with conventional membrane-structured buildings, can significantly improve earthquake resistance by reducing the load on the building frame. It also has excellent deformation-following properties and does not break and shatter like glass, making interior spaces safer.

Durability

ETFEフィルム膜材は長期的にその強度を保持することができます。暴露試験の結果を見ると、他の透明素材は引張強度が短期間で低下していますが、ETFEフィルム膜材はその強度を長期にわたって保持していることがわかります。

Transparency

500NJ（透明タイプ・500μm）は可視光透過率88％です。

Thermal insulation

ETFE透明フィルムを2層（または3層）にし、空気を閉じ込めることで断熱性能を向上することができます。その効果は、複層ガラスと同等のものになります。また、着色や印刷をすることで遮熱性を向上することもできます。

Advantages of Installation for
High-performance fluoropolymer ETFE

Accelerate energy savings by safely incorporating light

Reduces lighting power consumption by providing stable daylight in corridors.
It is used in station corridors because of its high transmittance, maximum transmittance area that can be maximized by framing, and lightweight (approx. 0.5 kg/㎡) and flexible characteristics that reduce the risk of breakage or falling due to earthquakes.

The transparent roof also gives it an airport feel.

The parking and drop-off lanes were installed so that users of the parking and drop-off lanes can comfortably come and go from the terminal building even on rainy days.

Bring in sunlight and grow plants indoors.

The photo on the right shows a facility for cultivating algae indoors, where the high light transparency of ETFE allows the algae to take in sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis to promote growth.
