Tensile Materials / Fabric Membrane / TiO2-Coated PTFE FiberglassPTFE fiberglass coated with non-toxic and flame-resistant TiO2 (titanium dioxide) produces a photocatalytic membrane that functions like the leaves of a tree, providing shade and comfort while actively neutralizing airborne pollutants and odors.TiO2 – coated PTFE is a popular choice with designers and architects in sustainable commercial roofing market sectors throughout Asia and is now beginning to find its niche in custom tensile systems in North America. The unique self-cleaning benefits of TiO2 allow the material to break down dirt and other organic materials through a chemical reaction with the sun’s UV rays, oxygen and water vapor, present in the air. This reaction, known as oxidation-reduction, converts these materials into harmless gases and natural components without using excess chemicals, solvents or water. The resulting sediments are simply washed away by rain. As a result, the membrane material remains bright and clean, reducing the need for frequent service. TiO2 – coated PTFE is a revolutionary step for the North American green building market, improving the way roofing systems perform. The fabric is available in three choices each graded according to their degree of natural light transmittance. These fabrics have proven ideal for urban or heavy traffic areas where non-industrial gas exhaust pollutants such as nitrogen and sulfur oxide (NOx and SOx) accumulate.
