Gedrukt boek
Today many different textile laminates are available. The Dutch Defence Organisation applies these laminates in their specialised clothing. The laminates consist of one or two textile layers and one waterproof, breathable membrane. Selection of the proper membrane is difficult because of the many properties, specified according to many different test methods. A survey of the important properties of the membranes applied in laminates has been performed. Thus enabling a better evaluation of the many different membranes. Seven interesting commercially available membranes have been specified as completely as possible according to the information as made available by the suppliers. The aim was to compare these membranes. A reliable comparison of the membranes with the specifications supplied appears hardly possible. The conclusion is that only by a testing programme the most suitable membranes can be selected. So some well defined textile laminates may be compared. These laminates should be composed of some membranes of the interest and one or two layers of specified textile cloth to be laminated with each of the membranes.
