Fluoropolymers help buildings and infrastructure last longer in demanding outdoor conditions, protecting components from fire, water, weathering, UV exposure and corrosive chemicals.

Lightweight fluoropolymer films, fabrics, coatings and membranes also give architects greater design flexibility for durable, energy-efficient structures such as roofs, façades, bridges and stadiums.

They are used in landmark structures including The O2 in London, the Sony Center in Berlin, the Eden Project in Cornwall, the Allianz Arena in Munich and San Mamés stadium in Bilbao.
