Fluon® ETFE Film

Allianz Arena (München, Germany)

One of the world’s largest (66,500 m2) membrane structure soccer stadiums, which was finished in 2005 in München, Germany. Fluon® ETFE Film was used on all surfaces. Using Fluon® ETFE Film not only kept construction lightweight, but made its advanced design (such as curved surfaces) possible. Finally, when multicolored light strikes Fluon® ETFE Film from the rear, the transparency and diffusion of light can be controlled to change the entire dome’s color to impressive shades such as red, blue, or white.
