ETFE adhesive tape
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) - The benefits of ETFE films are countless. More and more architects and manufacturers are using this lightweight, highly transparent material to offer solutions that would be difficult to achieve with glass.
CMC Klebetechnik uses the extremely durable film to manufacture technical adhesive tapes that adhere permanently even to the repellent surface of ETFE.
ETFE - films for the architectural sector. Rely on the highest quality. The aging-resistant ETFE film and the weather-resistant, transparent adhesive reduce maintenance costs to a minimum and thus permanently increase confidence in you. Long-lasting ETFE tape is more cost-effective than most alternative solutions. That means more success for you in tenders and in use. And it's always available in the width you or your contractors need.
Repair tape for film greenhouses: Adhesive tapes made of ETFE film are also very well suited for repairing greenhouses made of high-quality films. The adhesive tapes of the CMC 777xx product series adhere permanently and weather-resistant to almost all substrates. Even moisture and light soiling do not prevent a successful repair (however, cleaning is generally recommended).

Main advantages of using ETFE films
-
Self-cleaning surface (no complex cleaning equipment)
-
High transparency >92%, also for UV light (Positive for plants and humans)
-
Low weight, therefore not as elaborate substructure as required for glass
-
Good thermal insulation when using ETFE cushions due to the air cushion between the films
-
Good acoustic properties, as the soft film does not form any hard reflection surfaces and therefore no disturbing echoes occur in the room
-
Non-combustible film that melts in case of fire without spreading the fire.
-
Mechanically very good-natured material with good elasticity and resistance to tearing and further tearing
-
Can be thermoformed and thermowelded
-
Extremely high resistance to UV, weathering, chemicals and high or low temperatures.
-
Unlike glass, ETFE films follow subsequent deformations in construction
-
Low smoke emission, low toxicity in case of fire
-
Better mechanical resistance (compression, tension) like PTFE
-
Bonding with the adhesive tapes CMC 77700, CMC 77701 and CMC 77703 is also resistant under water (bonding in dry state)
-
Self-adhesive ETFE films are excellent, easy-to-clean and highly chemical-resistant protective surfaces
-
ETFE adhesive tapes from CMC Klebetechnik are excellently suited for bonding to ETFE films. Good adhesive strength, no risk of infiltration and high transparency are guaranteed.
