Electronic enclosures are vulnerable to a wide range of environmental hazards that can affect the performance, reliability and life expectancy of the sensitive electronics within.
To summarize, this membrane’s microstructure has pores small enough to block entry of water, fluids, dust, dirt, salts and other contaminants. Yet at the same time, these pores are large enough to allow molecules of air and gases — including humidity (moisture vapor) to exit the enclosure. This not only reduces the chance of condensation build-up, but also equalizes pressures that could otherwise stress enclosure seals to fail and admit even more moisture.
