Russian Research Center Applied Chemistry (GIPH), Rostec State Corporation, has launched Russia’s first production of wide (up to 1.6 meters) fluoropolymer films. This unique and environment-friendly material has a wide range of applications, from architecture to aerospace industry, and successfully replaces glass, polycarbonate, polyethylene and other polymers. Maximum output will be up to 5 million linear meters per year that will be sufficient to substitute the similar foreign products.
NEVAFLON fluoropolymer film is an advanced high-performance multifunctional material. It is used in construction as translucent roofing material. The material is also used to protect solar cells, in electronics, medicine and other industries.
“A particular advantage of the fluoropolymer film is its service life – more than 30 years. For comparison, the service life of conventional covering materials varies from two to five years. Unlike many plastics, the fluoropolymer film retains 95% of its performance even after ten years of use. Besides, the films as well as the film production waste are 100% recyclable into secondary pellets with their basic properties retained,” said Rostec’s representatives.
All grades of NEVAFLON films have excellent chemical resistance, light transmission, fire safety and high stress-strain properties.
