Construction

Market Overview

With expanding urbanization, a rising population worldwide, and the desire to reduce environmental impact, the building and construction industry is confronting new challenges.

What specific advantages can fluoropolymers provide for this industry?

Fluoropolymers’ unique qualities offer tremendous innovation and energy savings. Depending on other factors, they can lower building cooling costs and the accompanying energy use by 4%–22% when utilised in specific coating systems.

New-generation buildings require the use of thin and flexible materials. Fluoropolymers can provide all that plus increase the lifespan of an architectural component, reduce the weight of the building, and, most importantly, improve fire safety.

Applications:

  • Photovoltaics power systems
  • Communication cables
  • Architectural materials
  • Building exterior
  • Bridge and offshore bearing pads
  • Roofing technology
