SONTEK® LBreathable laminates

Breathable film is very thin sheet containing about 1,4 billion pores/cm2. A single pore is 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapour and 20 000 smaller than a drop of water. The actual pore size is 2-3 microns. It provides high vapour permeability and liquid impermeability of the product.

Manufacturing is carried out according to the EN ISO 9001:2009 and ISO 14001: 2005 Quality Management System.

STRUCTURE OF BREATHABLE PE FILMTHE PRINCIPLE OF VAPOUR PERMEABILITY

SONTEK® LBreathable laminates

Breathable laminates SONTEK® L are manufactured by laminating breathable film and non-woven fabric. The laminates are permeable for gases and water vapours but impermeable to water in liquid state. Suitable for hygienic applications, the laminates are designed for use in the manufacture of disposable sanitary products - baby diapers, sanitary towels, incontinence pads and supplies for the chronically ill. They help to enhance user comfort - their perme-ability allows the skin to better breathe, reducing the potential occurrence of undesired side effects such as skin rash, sores etc. Using fleece in the laminate gives the product texture and appearance of textile. The laminates can be supplied in white or printed version up to eight colours.

Dimensions: Width: 80 – 2 000 mm Square weight: 25 – 60 g/m2

USER ADVANTAGES:- Breathable for gases and vapours, resistant to water

permeability in liquid form- Hygienic unexceptionable, meet the Standards
