Fluon® ETFE Film Installed at SoFi Stadium in the U.S.
Fluon® ETFE fluoropolymer film developed and produced by AGC has been installed in the roof of SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Opened in September 2020, SoFi Stadium is home to two NFL teams, the Los Angeles Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams, and is scheduled to host major international sports events. The single-layer membrane structure of Fluon® ETFE film gives stadium visitors a view of the clear blue skies above the city. The highly reflective ink printing process developed with proprietary AGC technology also gives the film good weathering resistance and thermal insulation to create a comfortable spectator environment.
