Subatomaarsel

Subatomaarsel is a type of conductive fabric made from polyurethane foam. This fabric is designed to provide thermal insulation while allowing moisture to escape. It has become popular for use in protective gear and clothing for various activities, such as sports and work settings.

The term "subatomaarsel" directly translates to "subatomic tarp" in the Dutch language, though it is not an official name and more of a colloquialism used by its manufacturer. The intended meaning likely stems from the idea that the fabric provides protection at a subatomic level by acting as a barrier against moisture.

Subatomaarsel's pores are designed to allow moisture vapor to escape while trapping warmth. This characteristic makes it useful for goods intended for extreme weather conditions. Examples of such items include insulated work gloves, coat liners, and arctic coveralls. Devices requiring high levels of resistance to varying environmental conditions, such as warehouses and food production facilities, often feature the fabric as a primary insulation material.

When exposed to high amounts of moisture, subatomaarsel does not lose its insulating effectiveness, unlike many other materials. Its zero-gas properties, generated by a combination of open pores and a specific molecular structure, make it an effective barrier against various forms of environmental moisture.

Subatomaarsel is available in varying thicknesses and is compatible with a range of manufacturing techniques. By way of weaving, it may be made to resemble other insulating fabrics.
