FREE WEBINAR on 5/2/2026 about the PFAS restriction process, fluoropolymers and PFAS, membrane materials and the next SEAC consultation.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a diverse family of chemicals.

Not all PFAS are the same. Each should be treated differently. PTFE's unique combination of properties sets it apart from other materials and makes it vital to the sectors it serves, especially tensile architecture. Regulation against all PFAS could result in tensioned membrane structures becoming obsolete. 

Members of the Fluoropolymer Product Group (FPG) have provided the industry and its downstream users with robust safety information and best practice guidelines. The comprehensive guide covers essential materials such as PTFE, ETFE, FEP, PFA and PVDF, all of which are widely used in tensile architecture. The FPG and its members are dedicated to ensuring the safe use, sustainable manufacturing and responsible end-of-life solutions of fluoropolymers.

SAVE THE DATE - 05.02.2026

The TensiNet Working Group Sustainability and Comfort and its industrial members will organise a FREE WEBINAR on 5/2/2026 about the PFAS restriction process, fluoropolymers and PFAS, membrane materials and the next SEAC consultation.
