About Breathable Films
Breathable films are also known as semipermeable membranes. They are produced using mineral fillers such as calcium carbonate and polymers. The main use of fillers is to reduce the cost of the product by using carbonates instead of resins. It is a film with some holes or pores, which act as a barrier to large items but allow smaller objects to pass through. These micropores allow gas or water vapor to pass but restrict the flow of liquids. The process of manufacturing breathable films is almost like other films, but the only difference is the use of machine direction orientation (MDO). MDO is used to stretch the films uniaxially and develop micropores.
