Fabric architectural membrane FGT-800(KOYANG / ATHLETIC)

PTFE coated glass fabricPTFEfluoropolymer

Material FGT-800 Location Koyang, Korea Japan’s first permanent architectural fabric developed by Chukoh for membrane structures. It is a composite material produced by impregnating and sintering fluoroplastic on glass cloth (B yarn) by a unique method developed by Chukoh. Various types and grades are available according to the design and size of membrane structures. • Roofing materials • Ceiling materials • Interior materials -60℃ to +260℃ The fluoroplastic membrane FGT series is a combination of PTFE with self-extinguishing property and glass cloth fiber with heat resistance. Because of the above reason, FGT series has been authorized as non-flammable material. Since the fluoroplastic membrane of the interior material has the moderate pliability and permeability, you can increase the sound effects in the building if the interior material of the double membrane structure is used. Generally, as the diameter of the fiber decreases, the tensile strength per unit area increases. Fluoroplastics membrane uses B yarn which is the thinnest glass fiber in the world. It is a membrane material with enough strength and high safety. The dust and air contaminant deposited on the surface of the fluoroplastic membrane are washed away by the rain. Hence, no need for special cleaning and the beautiful appearance can be maintained for a long period of time. The natural light in the building through the fluoroplastics membrane is the natural diffused light and it creates a soft ambiance with few shadows. Since the fluoroplastic membrane reflects the most of solar energy, it can control the heat condition into the building.
