, spunbonded barrier sheet and material consisting essentially of synthetic plexifliamentary fibers, the sheet material has a basis weight of less than 600g/m2. The membrane also features a hydrostatic head Noun 1. hydrostatic head - the pressure at a given point in a liquid measured in terms of the vertical height of a column of the liquid needed to produce the same pressure  of greater than 12cm, a Gurley Hill porosity of greater than 10 seconds, a moisture vapor transmission rate Moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), also water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), is a measure of the passage of water vapour through a substance.

There are many industries where this property is critical. Here are some examples.
