The field of architecture is constantly striving for innovation and excellence, and a variety of new building materials are constantly emerging, providing designers and engineers with more options. Among them, ETFE film as a high performance, environmental protection and a high degree of design freedom of building materials,attracts more and more people's attention.
Basic properties of ETFE film
ETFE film is a polymer material composed of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene copolymerization. It has many excellent properties, such as high strength, high-heat resistance, high chemical resistance, high pollution resistance and easy cleaning. These characteristics make ETFE film have a wide application prospects in the field of construction.
Chemical stability: ETFE film has a high degree of chemical stability and can resist the erosion of most chemical substances, including acids, bases, salts and so on. This allows ETFE films to maintain stable performance under various environmental conditions.
Excellent heat resistance: ETFE film has high heat resistance and can maintain its physical properties and mechanical properties at high temperatures. In the field of construction, ETFE film can withstand a variety of extreme weather tests, such as high temperature, sun exposure, rain and so on.
High strength and tensile properties: ETFE film has high strength and tensile properties, and can withstand greater pressure and tension. This allows ETFE films to maintain their stability and durability when making large structures.
Good self-cleaning performance: ETFE film surface has low adhesion, making it easy to clean. Rain washes away dirt from the surface and keeps it clean at all times. In addition, ETFE film also has the ability to self-repair, even if there are some scratches or damage, it can also repair itself in a short time.
Good climate adaptability: ETFE film has good climate adaptability and can maintain stable performance under different climatic conditions. Whether it is high temperature, low temperature, wet or dry environment, ETFE membrane can adapt and maintain good performance.
Environmental sustainability: ETFE film can be recycled, in line with the concept of environmental sustainable development. By recycling waste ETFE film, the consumption of natural resources can be reduced, and the pollution to the environment can be reduced.
The application of ETFE film in the field of construction
Roofing material
ETFE film is widely used in various roofing materials because of its excellent heat and chemical resistance. It can be combined with the base material by hot melting or bonding to form a robust roofing system. This material not only has excellent waterproof performance, but also can effectively resist the invasion of natural disasters.
Curtain wall material
ETFE film has high transparency and good light transmission, so it is also widely used in various curtain wall materials. It can be combined with other materials such as laminated glass or insulating glass to form a curtain wall system with excellent thermal insulation and energy saving performance. This material is not only beautiful, but also can effectively improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
Pneumatic pillow
ETFE film can also be made into air pillows, used in various building structures. The air pillow is an adaptive structure that can automatically adjust its shape and size according to changes in external loads. In the field of architecture, air pillows are widely used in a variety of structures requiring large-span space, such as stadiums, exhibition centers and so on. By using the air pillow made of ETFE film, the efficiency and quality of the building structure can be effectively improved.
With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for building quality and aesthetic degree, ETFE film as a new type of building material will be more and more widely used. At the same time, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous improvement of application technology, the performance and application fields of ETFE film materials will continue to expand.
Therefore, we have reason to believe that ETFE membrane will become a new star in the future construction field.
