Breathable films in the medical sector:

However, during the pandemic, this material gained demand as it is considered to be reliable in protecting people from possible infection of the COVID-19 virus through air. Masks that are comfortable and reusable are highly in demand.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that people (including those who are fully vaccinated) should wear masks to help stop the COVID-19 spread. As per the CDC, a reusable cloth mask is sufficient if it comes with two or more layers of breathable and washable fabric. Many businesses have followed this recommendation and launched innovative masks.

Inex Gear’s washable mask is a perfect example. It comes with an outer layer of breathable cotton, its middle layer is made up of an embedded nanofiber filter, and the innermost layer is made with moisture-wicking and cooling breathable polyester film. These layers make the mask comfortable to wear.

Breathable films in shoes and apparel

Anything that an individual wears on a body has to be safe, easy to carry, and convenient. Fabric made with breathable films offers exactly the same. Ecco Biom H4 Golf and Adidas CodeChaos Shoes are perfect examples here. The producers use breathable films and other innovations such as the X-Tensa TPU element and HOVR technology to enhance stability, maintain the energy return, and reduce the impact. The motto is to make these shoes lightweight and ensure that external water does not get in and the internal moisture escapes easily.
