Insultex is
the high performance alternative to other insulating products. Being pliable,
thin, waterproof, and warm, manufacturers now choose to implement Insultex
into their products because the insulation provides their products with
the high performance without the bulk. Manufacturers may laminate, perforate,
and sew Insultex, making it an extremely versatile material.
Insultex’s
new cellular structured low-density polyethylene features buoyancy, impermeability,
and resistance to cold temperatures. Insultex is also incredibly lightweight;
one square yard weighs .42 ounces. In addition to it’s waterproof
and windproof capabilities, 8.8 ounces of fabric can provide flotation
to a 287 pound person.
With all of these features combined into one easy to implement material,
the applications for Insultex are virtually endless.
