Can the treatment interfere with waterproof-breathable laminates?
The company publishes no laminate result; the Textile page states that the fabric stays waterproof and breathable.
Building the material into a garment is the work of the partner that makes it, and that partner's own testing decides what the garment can be said to do.
The Terms of Use state: “A prospective partner or manufacturer must perform its own testing, validation, compatibility work, safety review, risk review, and quality controls for its proposed product and use.” They also state: “A test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.” The About page states that development runs configuration by configuration, and that each partner controls what is said about the work, and that the goal is a product that keeps every property it already had and gains a new capability.
The property itself is a charge on the material. The NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge; it is a physical property of the material, so it goes where the material goes and no further. The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Textiles chapter describes a Research Application, and that it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use.
