PTFE + filler Every PTFE + filler layer includes multiple runs of PTFE dispersoid coating. PTFE has excellent characteristics, such as resistance against most of strong chemicals, very low friction coefficient. In addition, it is non-sticky and noncombustible. It has very good insulating performance, and it is resistant against ageing, UV, and moisture … These PTFE coatings can make it free from being influenced by the surrounding environment, thus reducing the properties. In PTFE, different fillers are added to achieve certain other characteristics, such as enhanced abrasion resistance, light transmittance, and coloring.
Substrate coating. Substrate coating is a critical part of the synthetic structure. It serves not only as the substrate, but also as the base for the subsequent sizing for glass woven fabric. The substrate coating determines the ductility of the coated product. Specific formula can achieve certain special properties
Glass woven fabric: glass woven fabric is the frame for composite material, and determines the mechanical property of the coated products. Glass woven fabric has the following characteristics:
-Large tensile strength: glass fiber is the firmest in the textile fabrics, and even has higher tensile strength than that of steel wire at the same diameter.
-Stable size: low ratio of elongation of fiber after being applied with forces, usually less than 3%. Glass fiber made of it has extremely good size stability under various conditions.
-Strong resistance against high temperature: in spite of low cost, glass woven fabrics have excellent heat resistance. At 700°F (371°C), it can maintain about 50% of tensile strength at room temperature; at 900°F (482°C), it can still maintain about 25% of tensile strength at room temperature. Softening point of glass fiber is 1555°F (846°C), and its melting point is 2075°F(1121°C.
-Good fireproofing performance: Glass woven fabric is synthesized with inorganic materials, so it is noncombustible. When we pay attention to the combustibility of the materials, glass woven fabric is the obvious choice.
-Resistance against other chemicals: same as glass, glass fiber has very strong resistance against chemical attack. Durability: Its completely inert surface prevents glass woven fabric from the attack of daylight, mildew and bacteria.
Product properties
Self-cleaning property
PTFE membrane has very good self-cleaning property. Since rainwater will be accumulated into water drops on its surface, so its surface may be naturally cleaned.
Optical property
Membrane material can remove most of ultraviolet and prevent the color fading of the internal articles. Its transmission for natural light is up to 25%. Transmitting light generates uniform diffused light in the structure, without shadow, without glaze, but with good color rendering. In the evening, the membrane structure can emit natural and tender light under the joint effect of the surrounding environment light and internal lighting.
Mechanical property
MD PTFE membrane: with the thickness only 0.8mm, but its tensile strength has reached the level of steel. Membrane has low modulus of elasticity, which makes it beneficial to form the complex curve pattern. Its very lightweight has met the requirements of large-span building very well, and can reduce the total construction cost of the large-span building to a large extent.
Acoustic property
General membrane structure is transparent to the low frequency lower than 60Hz, and for the structure with special sound absorbing requirements, the membrane structure with FABRASORB unit may be used, to achieve better sound absorbing effect than that of glass.
Fireproofing property
In the present, the widely used membrane materials have the BI fireproofing level, belonging to a nonflammable material. The fireproofing properties can meet the national fireproofing standards in France, Germany, USA and Japan.
Insulating property
Single-layer membrane material has the insulating property same as that of brick wall and better than that of glass. Same as the building made with other materials, membrane building may also adjust the interior temperature with other means. For example, suspension of the insulating layer inside, the use of air-conditioning and heating equipment and so on.
