- As ETFE film is lightweight, it requires less structural steel to support it, less materials results in a much lighter carbon footprint.
- Greater design capabilities due to the lightweight and flexibility of the ETFE film.
- Unlike glass ETFE film is shatterproof, so no sharp shards or jagged edges if broken or tampered with.
* Weight: under the condition t=200µm
- ETFE film produces a bright and open space that can emulate the outdoors.
- Due to the high transmittance of daylight, lighting costs can be reduced which in turn will contribute to saving energy.
- By choosing a specific ETFE film, light transmission can be controlled to best suit the exposed area.
Introduction to the various film types

- ETFE is highly resistant to chemical damage, as well as being resilient to wild weather.
- ETFE film can retain well its strength for over 20 years whilst also retaining its transparency with its self-cleaning capabilities.

- When ETFE film is used in the two or three layer model it can be a great source of insulation for the inside of the structure.


- ETFE is recyclable; once it has been taken from a structure it can be recycled back into useable ETFE products.
- ETFE is a lightweight fabric, which requires less fabrication than traditional building materials, reducing C02 emissions in the air.
- Due to its transparency (up to 90%) ETFE can reduce the use and cost of indoor lighting.

- ETFE film has passed International standards in fire resistance
| Test Method | Item | Class |
|---|---|---|
| UL94 | Flammability Rating | V-0 (250NJ) |
| DIN 4102 | Ignitability | Class B-1 |
| JIS A 1322 | Flame Retardance | Class-1 |
| JIS K 7201-2 (ISO4589-2) |
Limiting Oxygen Index | 29.1% (Nonflammable in Air) |

- There are many types of ETFE films, these include: transparent, matte, white and printed.
- Each type has a specific use, such as light control and to reduce UV.

- Added light or projection images is another way that ETFE film can help create a unique atmosphere for any structure.
