ETFE Foil: A Guide to Design - Architen Landrell
ETFE foil is a naturally translucent material and transmits light across the entire visible light region (380-780nm). A single layer of medium weight ETFE has a light transmission of approximately 90-95% light transmission, with only a small reduction when multiple layers are added.

ETFE: Why this Building Material is Gaining Popularity
ETFE foil is essentially a plastic polymer related to Teflon and is created by taking the polymer resin and extruding it into a thin film. It is largely used as a replacement for glazing due to its high light transmission properties.
ETFE Foil - Architen Landrell
Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (ETFE) is a clear polymer that is extruded into a thin film (or foil) which is used to form either a single layer membrane or multi-layer cushions supported in an aluminium perimeter extrusion. Lasting 35+ years, ETFE is built to last.
Design guide for ETFE foil - Domerama
ETFE Foil is naturally a very transparent material and transmits light across the entire visible light region (380- 780nm). A single layer of medium weight ETFE has an approximate 85% light transmission, although multiple layers will lead to a small reduction.
ETFE — Structurflex
Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) is a fluorine-based plastic polymer that offers a creative and lightweight alternative to glass. Developed over 40 years ago, ETFE has a similar light transmission to glass, but at just 1% of the weight.
