The sustainable approach to a highly functioning yet fully recyclable membrane.

Performance

Re-Think Performance - Dynamic Breathablilty

In contrast to the other membrane technologies, the poreless compact Sympatex membrane is based on a physical and chemical principle. The water-attracting (hydrophilic) part of the membrane absorbs the moisture from the body and emits it to the outside by evaporation. The water vapor molecules are transported ourwards along the hydrophilic molecular chains. The molecular structure (hydrophilic components) of the Sympatex membrane swells in moisture and therefore provides space for water vapor transport and fast evaporation.

From the Membrane To the Product

The membrane is bonded to polyester facing and lining fabrics to form a laminate. Bonding to a variety of carrier materials is possible for the application of the membrane on different products. Only the use of a tape matched to the laminate makes the end product waterproof and a performance funcional textile.

Ecology

Re-Close the Loop

For a long time the cycle was closed, but we humans have broken it. New products continue to be produced which are thrown on large piles of garbage after use. We are the first generation that can close the loop again. To do this, Sympatex produces recyclable membranes for sustainable outdoor clothing.
