PTFE waterproof and breathable membrane is a new type of polymer waterproof material.
In terms of production technology, the technical requirements of PTFE waterproof and breathable membranes are much higher than those of ordinary waterproof materials; at the same time, from a quality perspective, waterproof and breathable membranes also have functional characteristics that other waterproof materials do not have.
Suzhou New Material Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development and production of ptfe waterproof and breathable membrane technology. Our membrane is mainly made of polytetrafluoroethylene as raw material, using special processes, and undergoes calendering, extrusion, A microporous membrane made by biaxial stretching and other methods.
The pore size of this membrane ranges from 0.02um to 0.2um, and the porosity reaches more than 88%.
Under the tensile force, the fibrils are pulled out from the PTFE resin particles. As the force increases, the length of the fibrils increases and the film becomes thinner.
When the fibril becomes no longer extensible, the force is transferred to the middle area of the base tape in turn, and then the middle part of the base tape is stretched.
Therefore, the biaxially stretched film tends to be thin on both sides and thick in the middle.
High temperature stretching is easier than low temperature stretching to make the film thinner.
In the transverse stretching direction of the film, in the area at the same distance from the edge, the pore size of the film stretched at high temperature is generally larger; at the same stretching temperature, the pore size in the area closer to the edge of the film is also generally larger than middle area.
The size of the film pores corresponds to the thickness of the film. In areas where the film thickness is small, the pores will be larger due to the larger fiber elongation, and vice versa.
PTFE waterproof and breathable membrane has excellent breathability, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, high temperature resistance and other properties.
According to the usage requirements, the pore diameter can be between 0.1-10um, the thickness can be between 2-100um, the porosity can reach 50%–80%, and there are up to hundreds of millions of micropores per square centimeter.
