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.

Westlake Girls High School on Auckland, New Zealand’s North Shore, designed by architects Creative Spaces. To achieve the architects' vision of mixed natural light and shade, Structureflex produced an innovate tensile membrane that combines coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester, fabric with transparent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) film.
