Breathability testing, also known as air permeability testing or moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) testing, assesses how well a fabric allows air and moisture to pass through. This critical evaluation is crucial for industries that require workers to wear protective clothing, such as construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and emergency services. By understanding the breathability of fabrics, businesses can ensure their employees remain safe and comfortable while working in challenging conditions.
