Poromeric

Name:
Poromeric
Detailed information:
A term coined to describe the microporosity, air permeability, and water and abrasion resistance of natural and synthetic leather. The pores decrease in diameter from the inner surface to the outer and thus permit air and water vapor to leave the material while excluding water from the outside. Polyester-reinforced urethane resins have poromeric properties, and vinyl resins have been used as leather substitutes with some success, primarily for shoe uppers.
