Sympatex® Membranes and laminates
top performance for man and nature
The Sympatex membrane is a 5 µm thick membrane that is laminated on a textile base, providing apparel and shoes with protection against moisture. The secret of the Sympatex membrane is its functionality based on its composition. The non-porous membrane functions solely according to physiochemical principles. The hydrophilic (water-attracting) elements of the Sympatex membrane absorb moisture (transpiration) in the form of vapour from the body and transport it from the inside to the outside. What is special about this process is that the Sympatex membrane adapts to the increasing level of exercise, offering dynamic breathability.
The non-porous structure of the compact hydrophilic membrane ensures optimal climate control and keeps drops of water (rain) away at the same time.
The Sympatex functional textile is made of polyether-ester that represents no health hazard and is therefore absolutely environmentally friendly and skin friendly and recyclable like a PET bottle.
