Introduction
The global market for fabric laminates utilising a membrane technology is driven by different customer requirements or testing criteria. These are typically set out in international standards such as those covered by ISO, EN, and NFPA norms. Because of the diverse range of global standards and testing criteria, no single membrane technology is able to meet all requirements.
Porelle membranes – product range
PIL Membranes's core technical capability is in the development of membrane systems for lamination to fabrics to create high performance laminates. We offer a unique range of membranes that are sold under the Porelle trademark. Our goal is to help our customers to compete in the global market. The porelle range of membranes includes:
polyurethane membranes,
TPU membranes,
PTFE membranes,
cross-linked membranes,
bicomponent membranes,
flame resistant membranes.
The porelle range also features both hydrophilic and microporous membrane technology.
Porelle membranes – performance benefits
The Porelle range offers membranes with a number of performance benefits that can include a combination of:
high flexibility,
soft and quiet,
hydrolysis resistance,
durability and abrasion resistance,
high water vapour permeability,
high waterproofness,
windproofness,
viral and blood borne pathogen resistance,
chemical resistance,
flame resistance,
high temperature wash or steam resistance,
dry clean resistance,
flame resistance.
Porelle membranes can be laminated to fabrics with all standard laminating techniques and equipment. This includes solvent and thermoplastic moisture curing adhesives.
