Abstract:
A durable, water-resistant, breathable, multi-layer laminate adapted to transmit moisture comprising:(1) an outer woven, non-woven or knitted layer of fabric, (2) a layer of a discontinuous non-breathable hydrophobic adhesive applied to the outer layer, (3) a first hydrophilic barrier film adhesively secured to the outer fabric layer, by the hydrophobic adhesive, (4) a continuous film or discontinuous layer of a breathable hydrophilic adhesive, and (5) a second hydrophilic barrier film adhered to the continuous film or discontinuous layer of hydrophilic adhesive wherein the first hydrophilic barrier film and second hydrophilic barrier film are adhesively secured to each other with the breathable hydrophilic adhesive and define a void area between the two films enhancing moisture migration and transfer.
