OverviewWater and wind are blocked while air and moisture vapor pass through. BREATHRON™ is a microporous breathable film that combines air permeability and moisture-vapor release with water- and wind-resistance by a complex distribution of micron-scale pores. Breathability and resistance levels can be adjusted on request for specific applications such as disposable adhesive heating pads that require controlled ventilation and dimensional stability.
Features- Porous film containing hundreds of microscopic holes not visible to the naked eye.
- Allows air and moisture vapor transmission while preventing liquid water penetration.
StructureMicroporous film laminated to nonwoven backing materials depending on the variant; pore size distribution at micron scale provides breathability with water and wind resistance.
