Since the 1960s, Tedlar® PVF film has been tested and proven effective in protecting a variety of surfaces, including metal, in highly corrosive and demanding exterior applications around the world for decades. Tedlar® PVF film when laminated to metal coil provides superior performance. Tedlar® is extremely resistant to chemicals and is flexible, meaning it forms to any panel shape without compromising film integrity on even the sharpest bends. Tedlar® film has been chosen for projects requiring premium protection of metal building materials used in corrosive environments, including structures built within 1,500 ft. of the ocean. Tedlar® is produced in the United States and in stock, making it an excellent solution for today’s metal building industry.

Known for offering long-lasting aesthetic protection for architectural applications, Tedlar® is available in a range of popular colors and can preserve and extend a building’s appearance for the lifetime. Tedlar® films are highly weatherable and dirt-shedding, therefore reducing maintenance costs and protecting structural investments.
