Features
- PP + PU Blended (Hydrophobic microporous + Hydrophilic non porous)
- With its proprietary sequentially biaxially-stretching and continuous manufacturing process
U-TEX can produce PP membranes with:- Similar pore structure to Gore-Tex
- The lightest weight Poly Propylene membrane(3~4gsm) base
- The highest porosity ratio(50~60%) for excellent vapor transmission
- Poly Propylene(PP) is the most eco friendly membrane that does not use any solvent and
consumes the less energy to produce
- Excellent MVTR and W/P values, W/P durability after repeated washing
