I think that I have to say, "It is not allergen-impermeable" with the recent purchase. I have bought all new bedding stuff. But just once recently. used a 2 year-old anti-allergy quilt for a night, the kid sneezed whole night . What I notice is that the quilt cover I bought a few years ago (2 years ago?) was air-impermeable when it was zipped up and after lots of washing are becoming air-permeable, which means that when I made up the bed the cover was filled with air and I had to let air out gently. The ones I bought recently have the same problem. Also as the quilt is so thin, I have a thought that maybe one day, everything can be made without real material with the helping of some advanced technology.

I dont think so. It is definitely breathable. Feel like cotton but it totally blocks the leakage.

it is sort of a "damp" powder-hard to describe. If I were you I would write the manufacturer and ask your question, as it is a great one and other consumers would benefit from the info. I am not going to say, "oh yeah sure" if I really don't know. good luck.

Seems to be. I use it all the time to cover things when I nuke them...Never had any problems.

Not particularly. All contact points are cloth or plastic and the fabric is breathable. We have had no problems.

I don't think so. It's a woven material, not easily wiped down to assure that you disinfect all surfaces that could be soiled/contaminated.

It is fine mesh. I do not know the make up of the mesh. I have a latex allergy and have not had any reaction to this product while using it.

I assume you meant is it impermeable? I'm quite sure it would not be if immersed in water but as far as some rain hitting it you would be ok...I returned it because it was smaller than I needed so i really didn't have a chance to test it.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that. It is perforated for breath ability and somewhat soft yet firm and durable. Hope this helps!

I do not know--it is too fine to count--however I can tell you that nothing, nothing gets through! Material is also strong--used for months by my two boys, one of whom has an insect allergy--very, very nice. It is less a "netting" than a super fine, heavy duty veil. No mosquitos, blackflies, gnats/mingies, fleas...nothing gets through....We like these very much. Even the zipper end is super flush.

Yes; the material is like "pleather;" very pleasant to the touch and nonabsorbent. However, I'm using a 2" memory foam pad on top of mine, so spills are a concern with that.

There was no particular ingredient in it to prevent allergies, if that's what you're asking. Nor was there anything in them to cause allergies. The only thing it says on the package is that it's 'Septic' safe. By that, I think it means that it won't cause clogging. I hope this helps.

I believe it is. Translucent somewhat soft silicone. I popped it in and immediately saw 100% improvement.

In my opinion the material is water resistant, not completely water proof. We used a bunch in light rain and snow and our baby always stayed dry.

This material is actually building wrap. It's a semi-permeable material designed to let warm moist air pass through from inside a home to the outside. As ground cloth for a tent it will protect the tent floor and keep the interior floor drier.

The fabric is dense, approximately 3/16" thick, but it is air permeable. As for *suitability* for filtration service, the fabric will present a significant pressure drop to gas flow and will be extremely difficult, at best, to clean

Yes. This material is great. Really good quality . I covered my cushions and was very pleased with the results.

I would ask the manufacturer if allergies are your concern. We haven't had any issues here.
