When it comes to light weight, great freedom of design and natural lighting, often an ETFE film is used. It has only about 1% of the weight of a glass surface and allows very graceful supporting structures. Repairing such constructions with ETFE tape significantly reduces service costs. The fluoroplastic ETFE has been exposed to natural and artificial weathering tests for more than 30 years. These films have proven that use over such a long time has no significant impact on usability. Another advantage of the films is that they are largely self-cleaning.

Protecting surfaces against soiling or graffiti with a protective cover is standard procedure. The lotus effect of, for example, protective paints is one way to facilitate the cleaning of soiled areas. Another is the pasting with sacrificial surfaces, so multi-layered films that can be gradually removed from the loaded areas. The cleaning of building walls, facilities in the public street or on the railways consumes millions each year.
