Omniflex Inc, LLC of Greenfield, Massachusetts USA, announced the availability of new antibacterial odor control versions of its widely used Transport waterproof breathable and Vacuflex barrier films. These new films allow designers and laminators to create waterproof-breathable, odor-killing textile composites with a single film lamination.
The technology also helps prevent mold and mildew. The result is an economical way to achieve odor control in waterproof- breathable apparel, footwear, workwear, bedding, medical textiles, medical devices, and upholstery.
The company's Transport family of products includes waterproof-breathable, windproof films of polyurethane, co-polyester and ether-amide polymers that are laminated to fabrics using all commercial lamination techniques. They are incorporated in a wide variety of applications demanding high moisture-vapor transmission, good drape, quietness, excellent stretch and recovery, and wash durability.
Thicknesses from 0.2 to 6.0 mils (5 to 150 microns) are cast onto polyethylene, polyester or paper carriers in widths up to 68 inches (1.727 meters). Mid-performance waterproof-breathable films are extruded without carriers in thicknesses greater than 0.8 mils (20 microns).
The Vacuflex family of moldable, lubricant-free, heat-resistant polyurethane barrier films is available in the same dimensions as Transport. These films are widely used in the automotive industry for vacuum-formed fabric laminates and foam-in-place applications such as seating, arm and head rests, headliners and trunk liners. Vacuflex films are also used in medical devices where a viral barrier, USP Class VI certification or sterilization is required.
