ETFE is a thermoplastic copolymer coating. A thermoplastic is a substance that becomes a solid plastic when exposed to a certain temperature – heating will form a malleable plastic, while cooling will result in its setting as a solid.
A copolymer is a material made by combining monomers – small molecules – of different types. ETFE offers mechanical strength, resistance to abrasion and stiffness that makes it ideal for industrial uses that require a durable coating..
