ePTFE film is a new polymer material, with micron or submicron level porous three-dimensional mesh microstructure, made of PTFE resin by stretching, turning and other special processing methods, while maintaining the excellent chemical properties of PTFE, by changing the structure of the material, shape, thickness, surface geometry, and then with different characteristics of auxiliary materials, To achieve different functions and uses.

A wide range of downstream applications

The main raw materials of ePTFE film and its components are PTFE resin, PP, PE and other polymer raw materials, which belong to petrochemical products; Its downstream for automobile, consumer electronics, new energy, aerospace and other industries.

ePTFE film has high chemical stability, high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, climate resistance, high lubrication, good non-adhesion, electrical insulation, good biocompatibility and other excellent characteristics, is a very excellent waterproof, dustproof, breathable material. Due to its special performance in acoustic, electrical, magnetic, thermal and other aspects, ePTFE film and its components have been widely used in automotive, consumer electronics, new energy, medical, clothing, industrial filtration, aerospace and other fields.

Most of the application fields of ePTFE film belong to the niche market. However, due to the wide application field of ePTFE film, even if the market space of some application fields is not large, the market space of all applications is still very considerable. Al Gore as the industry leader, its worldwide annual sales revenue has reached 3.7 billion dollars. 

Automobile market space analysis 

Over the past decade, global automobile production has maintained an overall growth trend. In 2009, due to the impact of the global financial crisis, global automobile production fell by 12.38 percent year-on-year. In 2010, global vehicle production rose to 77.583,500 units, with the recovery of the US and Japanese markets and the rapid rise of emerging markets such as China and India. With the launch of stimulus programs in major economies, although the growth rate of global automobile production has slowed down since 2011, the demand for automobile popularization in newly industrialized countries still provides continuous driving force for the growth of global automobile production. It was not until 2019 that global automobile production declined for the first time in 10 years. However, it still reached the level of 91,780,069.
