1. Materials & Fundamentals

What is the structural composition of the material?

Kae Hwa Industrial specializes in multi-layer functional laminates. Most of our products are composite materials engineered to provide a specific balance of protection, durability, and skin comfort.

LAYER 1

The Functional Membrane (The Core)

This is the “engine” of the material. It can be a Microporous PE/PP film or a Monolithic TPEE membrane. This layer provides the primary waterproof and breathable barrier.

BOND

Solvent-Free In-Line Lamination

We use high-precision thermal or ultrasonic bonding to fuse layers. Our solvent-free process ensures no toxic residue, making it safe for medical and hygiene use.

LAYER 2

Substrate / Face Fabric

Depending on the application, we laminate the film to Spunbond/Meltblown nonwovens (for diapers/gowns) or Woven Fabrics (for high-end outdoor ProShell™ gear).

Customizable Structures (2L, 2.5L, 3L)

We can engineer 2-Layer (Film + Fabric), 2.5-Layer (Printed backing), or 3-Layer (Face fabric + Film + Tricot lining) structures to meet specific weight and durability requirements for mountaineering or tactical use.
