Textiles Coated International

What Textiles Coated International does

Textiles Coated International (TCI) is a privately held manufacturer of high-performance fluoropolymer films, laminates, and composites, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Londonderry, New Hampshire. The company produces a full portfolio of extruded fluoropolymer films — PFA, FEP, ETFE, PVDF, and ECTFE — alongside cast PTFE films and its proprietary CrossFilm™ 100% PTFE film, which eliminates fiberglass contamination in high-temperature release applications. TCI also manufactures PTFE/fiberglass and silicone/fiberglass composites, textile-fluoro hybrid laminates (EverLiner™, EJ™, Hybrid™, Filmjac™, Texfilm™, Thermalam™, CrossTherm™, CrossSeal™), and a consumer-facing cookware line, claiming to be the only supplier offering the complete range of fluoropolymer chemistries under one roof.

TCI operates two advanced manufacturing facilities in New Hampshire totaling more than 180,000 square feet with 24/7 production capabilities, plus wholly-owned regional entities TCI Europe GmbH (Kaarst, Germany) and a manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico. The company serves eight primary industrial verticals — aerospace, architectural/greenhouse, chemical processing, electrical/electronics, energy/solar, food processing, industrial manufacturing, and medical/pharmaceutical — with the largest disclosed use case being its position as the world's leading manufacturer of high-performance PTFE materials for non-metallic expansion joint manufacturers. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales of fluoropolymer materials and custom manufacturing services, complemented by a smaller consumer/small-business channel via Amazon.com; pricing is not publicly disclosed and the company holds ISO 9001 quality certification. Notable historical engagements include supplying critical raw materials for Operation Warp Speed's COVID-19 vaccine packaging in 2020, demonstrating qualification into regulated government and pharmaceutical supply chains.

Broad incumbents

• Saint-Gobain SEFAR / Technical Fabrics: Saint-Gobain's technical fabrics division produces PTFE-coated woven fabrics and fluoropolymer laminates for industrial filtration, architectural, and chemical processing applications, overlapping directly with TCI's coated fabric and laminate portfolio while serving as a much larger incumbent with broader end-market reach.
• Chemours (fluoropolymer solutions): The DuPont spinoff Chemours is the dominant Western fluoropolymer producer (Teflon PTFE, FEP, PFA) supplying resin feedstock and film-grade products. While vertically integrated at the resin level, Chemours competes with TCI in finished fluoropolymer films and is the most consequential incumbent in TCI's market.
• W.L. Gore & Associates: Gore is a global fluoropolymer specialist (expanded PTFE, membranes, gaskets, fabrics) operating at much larger scale in adjacent but differentiated segments such as filtration and sealing. While its direct film overlap with TCI is limited, it is a comparable technology and brand benchmark in fluoropolymer innovation.

Direct peers

• Daikin (Chemical Division, Daikin America): Daikin is one of the world's largest fluoropolymer producers, offering Neoflon ETFE, PFA, FEP films that directly compete with TCI's extruded fluoropolymer film portfolio across architectural, electronics, and chemical processing end-markets globally.
• AGC Inc. (formerly Asahi Glass, Fluon ETFE): AGC produces Fluon-brand ETFE films that are a leading architectural membrane material globally, directly competing with TCI's ETFE films in greenhouse, stadium, and architectural envelope applications.
• Chukoh Chemical Industries: Japanese specialty fluoropolymer film and coated-fabric manufacturer producing PTFE, FEP, and PFA films for industrial, semiconductor, and chemical processing applications, making it one of the closest like-for-like competitors to TCI in fluoropolymer films.
• Taconic (formerly Taconic Performance Films): Taconic produces PTFE-coated fiberglass fabrics and pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes for industrial and aerospace applications, directly overlapping with TCI's PTFE/fiberglass composite and laminate product lines.
• Adtech Polymer Engineering: UK-based manufacturer of extruded fluoropolymer films (ETFE, FEP, PFA, PVDF) and fluoropolymer-coated fabrics for architectural, chemical processing, and electronics applications, competing with TCI in similar specialty film niches.

Emerging players

• Birdair (architectural membrane structures): Birdair designs and installs PTFE and ETFE architectural membrane structures for stadiums and facades. While downstream of fluoropolymer film producers, Birdair represents a direct customer/competitor interface in the architectural segment where TCI's ETFE film is increasingly positioned.
• Fiberflax (FluorTex / Siltuf-style coated textiles): European manufacturer of PTFE and silicone-coated fiberglass fabrics for industrial and architectural applications, representing a smaller direct competitor in coated textiles that overlaps with TCI's composite fabric product lines (Tufjac, Siltuf, Texcoat).
