  Abstract

This study investigated the potential application of polyolefin-based films-specifically polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), originally used as lithium-ion battery separators-as breathable films for textile use. To evaluate their suitability, mechanical properties (tensile, tear, and peel strength), comfort properties (hydrostatic pressure and water vapor permeability), and hand properties were analyzed and compared with those of conventional polyurethane (PU) films. The polyolefin-based laminated fabrics exhibited mechanical performance comparable to those of PU-laminated fabrics. All samples demonstrated a hydrostatic pressure above 8,000 mmH2O and a water vapor permeability exceeding 15,000 g/m²·day, indicating sufficient waterproof-breathable performance for outdoor use. Additionally, both PE and PU films and their laminated fabrics showed favorable hand properties in terms of smoothness and softness, while the PP films exhibited significant improvement after lamination. These findings suggest that polyolefin-based PE and PP films are promising PFAS-free alternatives to existing membranes in waterproofbreathable apparel.
