Ⅰ. Fluon® ETFE FILM introduction

1. What is Fluon® ETFE FILM ?

It is high-performance film,

developed and produced by AGC

with its own [Fluon ETFE] resin.

It shows the excellent features,

and is used in various applications.

AGC’s advantage is to develop and

produce both resins and films.

And AGC has 30 years history of ETFE film.

Light, thermal characteristics of printed film

・The above is a standard print pattern of AGC. Other printing patterns are also available as options.

・There are also over-coated products with improved weather resistance. Its characteristics are the same as those of standard silver ink.

・This is a measured value, not a guaranteed value.
