Crosstech - The new and improved Crosstech (Type 2C) is both the
most breathable and durable moisture barrier product available today. The enhanced
PTFE based bicomponent membrane technology incorporated within the new and improved
moisture barrier improves upon the already superior performance capabilities of
Gore's "original" Crosstech moisture barrier. Among the improvements, the primary
benefits to the user are increased total heat loss and an overall greater durability
- both of which are still provided in conjunction with the already superior thermal
stability performance of Gore's expanded PTFE Teflon based products. It is Morning Pride by Honeywell's position that the new and improved Crosstech moisture barrier is the preeminent
moisture barrier available today. While we
do not recommend any particular outer shell or thermal liner material as the best
choice for all customers, we DO recommend the improved Crosstech barrier as the
moisture barrier of choice to all our customers. While slightly more
expensive than alternative moisture barriers, the Crosstech barrier product offers
compellingly better properties and with its comparatively better durability is almost
assuredly a lower life cycle cost product than products of lower initial cost. The
new and improved Crosstech product on Nomex facecloth is an acceptable moisture
barrier per the terms of the Nomex Omega licensing program, also.
Crosstech is available for quick delivery in our Custom Stock Program.
RT7100 - This alternative PTFE-based moisture barrier is a product of W.L.Gore.
It incorporates Gore PTFE technology, however, NOT the enhanced bicomponent technology
that is part of the new and improved Crosstech moisture barrier, nor the technology
that was used in the original Crosstech barriers. This alternative product is intended
as a thermally stable, price competive alternative to NFPA compliant polyurathane
based moisture barriers without the superior product benifit advantages of the Crosstech
moisture barrier. The Basofil blend substrate may provide an insulative bump (often
typical of Basofil) that will allow the use of lighter liners.
