PTFE Tensile Membrane – Ideal for Owners and Developers

PTFE (Polytetrafluroethylene) tensile membrane is a dynamic tensile material that promises to suit the need for any type of the building structure. It is widely used architectural membrane which is unmatched for its great flexibility and durability. PTFE is a high translucent coating fabric which is chemically inactive and exceptionally strong enough and possesses the capacity to withstand any extreme temperature (from -73*C to + 232*C) in any environment. The electrical grade fabric membrane which is resulted from its low surface adhesion property is easily rinsed by rainwater. Not only that this membrane is also totally immune to UV radiation.

Features     By nature, it is hydrophobic.

• It acts as the barriers to microbes and particulate matters.
• It offers great flexibility.
• It is Teflon or silicone coated woven fiberglass are durable and fire resistant.
• It can withstand temperature of even extreme climates varying from the frigid arctic to scorching desert.
• In architectural fabric PTFE, membrane is literally superior weather and fire resistant which is the best choice for any kind of project.
• It can reflect up to 73% of the solar energy and hold only 7% on its exterior surface.
• It offers the tensile strength of 500,000 PSI and modulus elasticity of 10.5 PSI x 10^
• Its shading coefficient has made its unmatched. In extreme warm climate, low lighting levels or cooler climate level increased lighting level makes PTFE membrane an energy saver.
• This membrane offers enough elasticity, so the designers are tension free enough to be worried from any changes such as cracking or creasing or creeping.
• This fabric membrane provides the advantage of spot welding and sewing.
• PTFE fabric is water proof, unbelievably stain resistant and easily cleanable membrane.
• PTFE membrane is the ideal choice for the developers as well as for the owners for its low maintenance option that gives its look great even after many years of service.

Why so demanding

In almost all commercial and retail market sectors this PTFE tensile membrane is used for its high translucency which provides natural lighting. Its dramatic illumination makes the environment dreamy in interior landscaping of different complexes such as in the shopping malls, office complexes, auto dealerships and sports complexes. Not only that, plants can also grow naturally inside this tensile translucent system. PTFE membrane offers highly reflective coating, so it is considered an attractive option for a beautiful backdrop at night time either for graphic displays of advertisement, for interior lighting or brand awareness. So by evenly disseminating light this material undoubtedly acts as an attractive option for using in the malls or office complexes as a compelling backdrop in interior lighting or night time lighting.

Its applications

�    In a varied field of healthcare applications PTFE tensile membrane can be used, such as vents on IV filters and spike vents whose function is to protect the instruments and sensors from contamination and fluids.

�    Its versatile characteristics make it a perfect material for application as a hydrophobic barrier in the medical field.

To conclude it can be said that PTFE tensile membrane is the ideal membrane which not only suits your building needs, but also serves as a compelling backdrop for backlit signage.
