TH Hygiene New Plant Boosts Breathable Film Production, Meeting Global Demand By Tenghua September 26, 2025 https://www.thhygiene.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Start-Operation.mp4 Summary: TH Hygiene’s new Shaoguan plant started production in September 2025. The facility initially produces breathable film and will reach an additional monthly capacity of 1,600 tonnes. This expansion meets growing global demand across hygiene, medical, and packaging sectors while supporting market trends toward sustainable, high-performance materials. We are thrilled to announce a major milestone for TH Hygiene: our new production plant in Shaoguan officially began operations in September 2025. This advanced facility starts with two dedicated breathable film production lines and will ramp up to an additional monthly output of 1,600 tonnes. This expansion strengthens our commitment to the global market. Understanding Breathable Film and Its Importance Breathable film is a high-performance material with unique properties. It allows water vapor to pass through while blocking liquids and other contaminants. Manufacturers commonly measure its performance by the Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR). This functionality is critical for many applications. It keeps babies dry in diapers, ensures sterility in medical packaging, and improves building durability. Expanding Global Market for Breathable Films Our Shaoguan plant expansion coincides with strong growth in the global breathable film industry. Market research indicates the global breathable membrane market will grow at a 4.8% to 6% CAGR, reaching several billion USD by 2031. Several key factors drive this growth: Rising Hygiene and Healthcare Demand: Growing health awareness and disposable incomes are increasing demand for hygiene products like adult and baby diapers. The medical sector also requires more breathable films for surgical gowns and drapes. Construction Sector Expansion: Builders use breathable membranes in modern construction to allow buildings to “breathe.” These materials provide ventilation, prevent moisture damage, and improve energy efficiency. Sustainable Innovation Trends: The industry is shifting toward eco-friendly solutions. Companies are developing recyclable materials and smart membranes with integrated sensors for temperature and humidity control. Asia currently represents the largest market for breathable films. Our new plant strategically positions TH Hygiene to better serve global clients from within this key region. Answering Your Questions on Breathable Film To help you understand our core products, we’ve answered some frequently searched questions about breathable film. 1. What is breathable film made of? Manufacturers can produce breathable films from various polymers. Common materials include Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyurethane (PU), and thermoplastic polyesters. The choice of material depends on the desired balance of flexibility, strength, and breathability. 2. How does breathable film work? Breathable film typically features a microporous structure. These microscopic pores block liquid water and contaminants but allow water vapor molecules to escape. This mechanism provides both barrier protection and breathability. 3. What is the difference between breathable film and waterproof breathable membrane? People often use these terms interchangeably. Both refer to materials that block liquid water while allowing water vapor to pass through. They play a critical role in ensuring comfort and protection. 4. What are the applications of breathable film? Applications are diverse and expanding: Hygiene Products: Baby diapers, adult incontinence products, and feminine hygiene pads. Medical Applications: Surgical packs, protective apparel, and wound dressings. Construction: Builders use breathable membranes in walls and roofs to enhance building durability and energy efficiency. Packaging: The food industry uses breathable films for fresh products like meat, fruits, and vegetables to extend shelf life. Our Commitment to the Future The Shaoguan plant opening demonstrates TH Hygiene’s dedication to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. By significantly increasing our production capacity, we are growing our business and strengthening our ability to partner with clients worldwide. We will continue delivering advanced material solutions. We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to supporting our partners’ success with our enhanced breathable film production capabilities.
