SYMPATEX MEMBRANE
Breathable in an optimal way
The compact, pore-free Sympatex membrane works unlike other membrane technologies on the basis of a physicochemical principle.
The hydrophilic component of the membrane absorbs body moisture and transfers it to the outside through evaporation. In this way the vapor molecules are transported to the outside along the hydrophilic molecular chains.
The molecular structure (hydrophilic components) of the Sympatex membrane swells due to humidity and therefore offers space for the transport of water vapor and for rapid evaporation.
This effect increases with the difference between temperature and humidity. A partial pressure difference, generated by different temperatures and humidity of the air inside and outside, constitutes the physical driving force that carries the water vapor through the membrane.
