Wide application of ETFE membrane materials

ETFE (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer) membrane materials have a wide range of applications. In addition to stadiums and transportation facilities, they are also widely used in the following fields:

1. Construction

ETFE membrane materials are particularly prominent in the construction field. In addition to the stadiums mentioned above, they are also widely used in commercial buildings, exhibition halls, cultural facilities, etc. For example:

。Commercial buildings: Commercial buildings such as shopping centers and hotels often use ETFE membrane materials as roof or wall materials to provide natural light and a comfortable environment.

。Exhibition halls: Exhibition halls use ETFE membrane materials to create bright and transparent display spaces and enhance exhibition effects.

。Cultural facilities: Cultural facilities such as libraries and museums also often use ETFE membrane materials to provide a comfortable and bright environment while showing a unique architectural style.

2. Agricultural field

ETFE membrane materials are mainly used in the agricultural field as greenhouse covering materials. Due to its full-band optical fiber transmittance and good thermal insulation performance, it is particularly suitable for plant infrared absorption and offsets the low temperature of radiation at night, so it is widely used in agricultural greenhouses. This type of application is mainly to build tropical botanical gardens or plant research bases in places that are not suitable for the growth of tropical plants, and to raise tropical animals in cold places.

3. Photovoltaic field

The application of ETFE film in the field of solar panel surface encapsulation is one of the most promising application directions in recent years. Compared with most photovoltaic backplanes on the market that use PVDF and PVF as the outer fluorine film, ETFE has better weather resistance, heat resistance, scratch resistance and hydrophobicity, and is a more ideal photovoltaic backplane material. In the domestic photovoltaic cell industry, ETFE film has begun to be used in flexible photovoltaic cell encapsulation materials. The components are composed of upper ETFE film, EVA layer, battery layer, EVA layer, and lower ETFE, which realizes flexibility and portability.

4. Wire and cable field

ETFE film is also used in the insulation layer of wires and cables, especially wires and cables in the aerospace field. Due to its high mechanical strength, low relative density, and radiation resistance, ETFE has become an important material for making insulated wires and cables in the aerospace field. In addition, ETFE can also be used in electrical insulation and heat shrink tubing, wiring and cables (such as wrapping computer terminals and heavy power circuits) and other fields.

5. Other fields

In addition to the above fields, ETFE film materials have also been used in the following fields:

。Medical devices: used in the manufacture of medical devices, such as catheters, stents, etc.

。Electronic and electrical: used as insulating materials for electronic equipment.

。Food industry: ETFE film materials' chemical corrosion resistance and high light transmittance make it an ideal material for food packaging and storage.

。Environmental protection: ETFE film materials can also be used in environmental protection fields, such as wastewater treatment, waste gas treatment, etc.

ETFE film materials have been widely used in many fields with their unique properties, bringing convenience and comfort to people's lives and work. With the continuous advancement of materials science and technological innovation, the application scope of ETFE film materials will be further expanded.
