BreathTech® Vapor Permeable Membrane Technology
From a leader in film technology, BreathTech® is a paradigm shifting proprietary material for the building industry.
For builders that require increased durability of the building wrap, while maintaining highest in class moisture management, BreathTech®, a vapor permeable membrane, advances capabilities of the building envelope through very high permeability, ultrahigh water holdout, and UV stability.
Applications
BreathTech® can be part of finished solutions for both commercial and residential construction. Explore this building to see potential uses.
- Roofing Membrane
- Mechanically Fastened Building Wrap
- Self-Adhered Building Wrap
- Composite Integrated Rainscreen
- Combination Sheathing
Moisture Management
Water damage caused by moisture intrusion continues to be a major source of building failures. BreathTech® vapor permeable membranes can increase building envelope water management properties through a unique pore structure that delivers an optimal combination of ultra-high water holdout and high vapor transfer.
Unique Pore Structure
Moisture
Vapor Transfer | >150 Perm | ASTM E96-B
Promotes vapor transfer allowing moisture to escape
High Water Resistance | >900 cm |AATCC-127
Fights against water intrusion
Customizable & Integrated Profile Design
- Profile channels can support drainage
- Profile patterns can support slip resistance for safer installations
Building Productivity
Building materials must withstand environmental and construction elements.
The highly specialized process used to create BreathTech® membranes produces a tough barrier film for efficient installation and performance. Its robust polymer chain structure maintains performance properties well beyond 6 months of UV exposure.
Pass (no change in resistance to Water Penetration and defined tensile degradation at 5000 hours)
Lamination & Coating
BreathTech® vapor permeable membranes can be adapted to meet unique construction needs and many building material combinations.
Their highly bondable structure allows thermal and adhesive, multi-layers structures
