Fluoropolymer coated glass fibre for application in architecture, industry and manufacturing. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is typically applied by dip coating, whereby the glass fabric is drawn through a solution of PTFE and sintered. The proportion of PTFE in the finished product ranges from 20-60%, depending on the requirements of the application. While there is a drive to replace PFTE, it is very challenging in applications like this. For example, these PTFE-coated meshes are used as conveyor belts in the production of thermoplastics like thermoplastics polyurethane (TPU). There is currently no known alternative that offers the same non-stick performance and high-temperature durability.

The translucent roof structure of Gatwick Airport station concourse, is fabricated from transparent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) fluoropolymer. It is made up of two layers, sandwiching a large air-filled cavity.

N700S-8000 Shinkansen high-speed train, developed by Japan Railway Company, features extruded aluminium bodywork. The nose consists of 32 plates welded together and strengthened glass window. The metalwork is topcoated with fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE), a tough long lasting fluoropolymer created for demanding exterior applications.
