Lowe Alpine已經與日本的合作夥伴“Unitika
Industries“工作了超過了2年的時間，
為的是要讓這個材質更加具有防水性、透氣性、耐久性，
並且在97年的春天達成目標。

為啥要取名為TRIPLEPOINT CERAMIC？
Triplepoint是指物質的固、液、汽三點。
CERAMIC是代表數兆個微小的二氧化矽分子加進去液態的聚氨脂（polyurethane），
來製成表面的布料。

描述部份....
TRIPLEPOINT CERAMIC是塗磨上一層獨特的PU製劑，包含有微小的孔洞，
並且吃進尼龍纖維中，其孔洞包含有陶瓷粒子，
TRIPLEPOINT CERAMIC的塗膜，並不是一個很明顯，具多孔性的PU製品，
不像傳統的多孔性構造。它的孔洞是更小、更多，
並且有特殊的材質作為第二層的覆膜，來增加耐久性及防水性，
這結合高科技的覆膜與特殊設計的表面的纖維，是屬於獨一無二的Lowe Alpine公司。
> DOUBLE COAT PROCESS
> The TPC coating is actually a high tech combination of two different
> coatings. Layer #1 is a hydrophobic (water repelling) microporous PU coating.
> Layer #2 is a thinner hydrophilic (water attracting) monolithic (non-porous)
> coating. The silicon dioxide particles are added to the liquid polyurethane
> in layer #1 which increases the porosity and therefore the breathability.
> The second coating increases waterproofness and protects the microporous
> coating beneath it from becoming clogged by dirt and oils.
雙層的覆膜步驟：
這TPC（布料）的覆膜是一項高科技，結合了兩項不同的覆膜，
第一層是厭水性並且多孔性的PU覆膜，
第二層是薄的親水性、整體性（不具滲透性）的覆膜，
二氧化矽的粒子是加入第一層液態的PU層中，來增加孔洞及透氣性，
第二層的覆膜增加了防水性，並且保護孔洞，避免受到灰塵及油汙的影響。
> A durable water repellent finish is an integral part of any

一個完整的布料潑水性，是防水性、透氣性系統的主要部份，
所有透氣／防水性纖維當其內層襯裡吸收水分，會受到嚴重的限制，
水分的吸收，會抑制水蒸汽通過。
我們（指LOWE公司）是在外層塗個有效的DWR，來預防內層的吸水
及確定水分的滑落。
這加強的覆膜技術是靠著浸泡具有增強效果的DWR。每片布料都可單獨浸泡。
所以您可以看到此布料具有明顯的增強功效。
> FABRIC INFORMATION
> TRIPLEPOINT CERAMIC is available in two weights; 1600S used in areas of high
> wear and 1200S used in areas where overall weight is the primary concern.
> The face of 1600S, because of its extra weight, is more abrasion resistant
> than 1200S and is used in garments or areas where particularly high wear is
> anticipated.
來自纖維的訊息：
此種布料有兩種厚度；1600S（較耐磨）、1200S
1600S的表面是加厚的，所以較1200S耐磨
（略過一小段）
> ADVANTAGES OF COATINGS OVER LAMINATES
> Ceramic coatings are not glued or cemented to the fabric; they have become
> part of the fabric. Delamination, a common problem with laminates,
> cannot occur.
陶瓷性的覆膜不是使用黏著劑來黏上去纖維的，它已經成為纖維的一部份，
所以不會有分層的情況發生，
> The manufacturers of laminated waterproof/breathables face the following

> A. Pocket construction necessitates the use of at least two pieces of

傳統分層的防水透氣布會遇上一些問題，他們必須使用三層的構造，
來維持戶外活動的耐久性，這些問題有：
A.口袋的構造需要使用兩層布料，會使此區域不透氣。
B. 三層布料的內層具有吸水性，剛開始可以保持內層的乾燥，
但會嚴重抑制纖維的透氣性，
> Because of its structure and the fact that we can combine 1600S and 1600S

因為傳統布料有以上的事實，所以我們發明了1600S、1200s兩個布料，
內層使用不具吸水性的材質，這也是為啥我們布料稱為一層的原因
（不是拼湊兩種纖維）

我們並且設計拉鍊部份也具有透氣性（這具不好翻譯！）
這個設計在我們公司所有的衣服都可見到。
我們使用Dryflo材質作成的網孔，構成我們的口袋，
Dryflo這種材質是特別設計用來幫助水蒸汽的通過，所以不會吸收過量的水汽，
也不會抑制水汽的流動，這樣的設計，使得沒有其他材質具有如此的透氣性，
孔洞也可以幫助移除過量的水汽，來維持衣物內部的完整性。
註：Dryflo也是LOWE自行研發的布料，我穿過它，感覺好過coolmax....屬於排汗布料)
（我是邊看邊按翻譯機，如果翻得差，請不要嫌了，謝謝）
