Denver Union Station, Colorado, USA, features a tensile fabric canopy engineered and produced by Structureflex. The roof consists of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated glass fibre, combined with a single layer of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) film. Sunlight is filtered to allow daylight to pass through the weatherproof canopy without the accompanying heat. Image Structureflex.
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) film with Renol lignin masterbatch added. The lignin imparts a brown colour and woody smell to the film. It is used to reduce the amount of virgin plastic used, and so bring down the carbon footprint of the film.
Platilon partially-bio-based thermoplastic polyurethane (bio-TPU) film from BASF, welded to make an inflatable insulating jacket. Designed by Axis Design Studio.
