Prevent Vapor Flow
prevent_vapor_flow

Stretch fabrics appear waterproof but have High MVT ratings and can permit evaporating fluids to pass through which can then accumulate in and contaminate the cushion’s core.

Comfortex uses only non-stretch fabrics with low MVT ratings to prevent both moisture and moisture vapor pass through. (see test data : Comtec Laboratories, 2007)

Fabric Comparison
Comfortex Stratos Nylon 0.5 to 0.8 Grams/hr/m2 prevents Moisture Vapor Transmission
Waterproof Stretch Fabric 9.4 to 16.0 Grams/hr/m2 permits Moisture Vapor Transmission
