New materials for membrane structures you can't imagine

The British company KKR has launched a new type of environmentally friendly membrane structure and façade material. It has more outstanding environmental protection concept in terms of physical properties of traditional membrane structure materials. PTFE is not foldable), which can better provide meager service for Chinese membrane structure. KKR 9001 materials are available to the general public.

Fire performance

In the case that most materials can only reach DIN4102-B1, KKR 9001 can already achieve Class A fire protection.

Mechanical properties

The medium strength KKR material has a thickness of only 0.6mm, but its tensile strength is equivalent to half that of steel. The amount of elastic film of the film is low, which is conducive to the formation of a complex curved shape of the film.

Environmental performance

The research report pointed out that the solar reflectance of black roofs is usually 10% -20%. If the roof is covered with a highly reflective KKR film, the reflectance can be increased to more than 60%. The report believes that a white roof can make a building Energy saving is 20%. If a building with a roof area of about 90 square meters uses a white roof, the environmental protection effect is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 10 tons per year. In addition, KKR's materials are degradable, which can truly be environmentally friendly and non-polluting "green" materials.

Insulation performance

The single-layer film has the same thermal insulation performance as wall tiles and is better than glass. Like other materials, the interior temperature of membrane buildings can be adjusted in other ways. For example: the use of air conditioning to adjust heating equipment, etc.

Optical performance

KKR film material can filter most of the ultraviolet rays and prevent the discoloration of internal items. Its transmittance to natural light can reach more than 25%. The transmitted light generates uniform diffused light inside the structure, no shadows, no glare, and good color rendering. At night, under the combined effects of ambient light and internal lighting, the surface of the membrane structure emits a natural soft light, which is intoxicating.

Acoustic performance

The general membrane structure is almost transparent to the low frequency of 60HZ. For structures with special attraction requirements, a membrane structure with a FABRASORB device can be used. This combination has a stronger attraction effect than glass.

Self-cleaning performance

KKR9001 membrane material undergoes special surface treatment. The membrane material has good self-cleaning performance. Rainwater will collect on its surface to form water droplets, so that the surface of the membrane material can be cleaned naturally.

Inspection of building structure

After severe weather such as strong wind, hail, heavy rain and heavy snow, the membrane structure buildings should be checked for abnormal phenomena in time, and certain measures should be taken.
