Moisture Management
Water damage caused by moisture intrusion continues to be a major source of building failures. BreathTech® 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.
BreathTech® Technology
- The specialized production process used to create BreathTech® membranes results in a highly uniform sub-micron pore structure that promotes moisture vapor
transfer
- Customizable & integrated profile design can support drainage or slip resistance for safer applications
Attributes
- The unique pore structure and polymer support of Breathtech® membranes provide an unprecedented combination of moisture management properties, including best-in-class water barrier protection and ultra-high breathability
- Alternative membranes rely heavily on flimsy film and sub-optimal non-wovens to get moisture management performance
Results
- High water holdout properties reduce the risk of bulk water intrusion
- High permeability allows any water that does penetrate the building envelope to evaporate and escape
