Port of Los Angeles Protects Baggage Facility With PVF Film

DuPont Tedlar Port of Los Angeles
September 30, 2023 at 12:00 p.m.

By Anna Lockhart.  

When building a new baggage handling facility to meet the high demands of cruise line traffic, the Port of Los Angeles trusted this DuPont™ Tedlar® product to get the job done. 

As the Port of Los Angeles sees a significant amount of traffic throughout the year due to cruise lines, the Port decided to build a building designed to aid in efficiently storing away baggage. The auxiliary baggage handling facilities for cruise lines frequenting the port were to be located in this new building, to be designed and constructed by Sprung Structures.  

The structure, measuring to be 74,000 sq. feet and encompassed in 18 land acres, was a major addition and needed to be built with quality materials designed to outlast harsh weather and years of use. The structure was designed with architectural fabric, which is a quick to install and cost-effective material that gives off an ultra-modern look. Steel frames are often covered with these commercial grade fabrics and coated with a protective film. 

Polyvinyl flouride (PVF) films are a surface protection coating that prevents scuffs, stains or fading from happening to the exteriors of buildings they are applied to, making it a must have for any project contractors are wanting to outlast the elements for decades to come. 

The team leading the project chose to go with DuPont™ Tedlar® surface protection film to cover the architectural fabrics that cover the exterior of the building. Their product, Tedlar® in Salem Blue was chosen to cover the 130’ wide and 535’ long structure. Deciding to use Tedlar® was a great choice durability wise, as it provides a UV-resistant and dirt-shedding layer to the building’s exterior, protecting its color and shine.
