Fluoroplastic restoration and transformation – From adhesive tape to domes
Skytop
“Skytop” is made from fluoroplastic PTFE- coated glass fiber B yarn fabric. The strength of B yarn surpasses that of steel and has many unique characteristics. These qualities include heat resistance in temperatures up to 700 to 800℃, and it is not effected by low temperatures or ultra-violet rays. To this strong base material add the heat resistance, climate endurance, anti-adhesive tendencies and water repellency of fluoroplastic. The composite result is “Skytop”, a highly functional construction material.
Material composition
Grade information of Skytop
Characteristics
Non-flammable
Each material having non-flammable traits, the composite of fluoroplastic PTFE and B yarn cloth makes Skytop a construction material with fully sufficient non-flammability.
Toughness
In general, the smaller the diameter of the fiber the stronger the tensile strength of the general surface area. Skytop makes use of B yarn, the finest glass fiber in the world. Accordingly, this makes for an extraordinarily strong membrane material.
Light permeability
The transparency of membrane allows passage of natural light sufficient for the cultivation of plants. The naturally spread light makes for a soft atmosphere with few shadows. Also available in shade type, with proper use expect a range of results.
Heat related traits
As Skytop reflects the vast majority of the sun’s energy, it is possible to control heat conduction into the building. In using the interior material Skytop for double membrane construction, the efficiency of interior climate control can be increased.
Climate endurance
Un-effected by ultra-violet rays or air pollution, Skytop offers roof function and safety you can count on for longevity of preservation.
Self-cleaning
With Skytop, any accumulated dust, dirt or air-pollutant substances will be simply washed away by rain. Accordingly it is possible to maintain its longevity and keep your Skytop pristine without any special washing.
Sound absorption
Due to the moderate pliability and ventilation of interior material membrane, it displays excellent effectiveness of sound absorption. In the case of the use of a liner for a double membrane construction, the acoustics of a building can be efficiently improved.
