摘要

A flexible, breathable, non-linting, clean and cleanable composite laminate is provided. The laminate comprises a middle layer of a padding and a top and bottom layer comprising a sheet of porous water impermeable, moisture-vapor-permeable film bonded to the middle layer. Preferably the top and bottom layers comprise (a) a flexible, first sheet of hydrophobic material having a moisture vapor transmission rate exceeding 1000 gms./m2 ? day; and (b) a continuous hydrophillic sheet attached to or penetrating the first sheet, the hydrophillic sheet having a moisture vapor transmission rate exceeding 1000 gms/m2 ? day and forming a barrier to passage of fluids. The laminate is usefulin diverse applications such as a cover for cleaned aerospace equipment during retrofitting, shipping and storage, as the padding under orthopedic casts and asthermal insulation in wearing apparel.
