Functions
Product information
The fabric is weaving with polyester, wool and Tencel fiber. Using special laminated technology with Xpore membrane offers the ECO-friendly textiles. Xpore offers 100% detox and hydrophobic nano-porous membrane. It is more ecological because the new membrane is complete solvent free in process and PFCs/PTFE free in materials. Xpore’s manufacturing process also requires no water since it uses rolling technique. Therefore, it can save a lot of water. Since the process is solvent free, it also causes no air pollutions during the process. Additionally, Xpore’s factory itself is a green architecture certificated by Taiwanese government uses solar panels to promote green energy. Xpore perfectly balances between eco-friendly and high performance. Xpore’s performance could achieve 15K for water resistance by ISO 811 and 8K for permeability by JIS L1099 A1 method. The attached report is Greenpeace tests outdoor clothes for perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds (PFCs) toxins in 2015 that can analysis 34 kinds of PFCS toxics compounds. The detection limit of toxic Chemicals in Greenpeace test is 1 micro-square gram(1μg/m2). Xpore membrane from BenQ can pass the test and did not detected any kind of PFCs.
