Tyvek in place of fiters.
    #514647 -

This is the response I made to the post "Home made filter discs. I cut and pasted it here for the information value in case anyone else wanted to try it. After reading the response from Puscle, I realize that I wasn't clear that it's not a good idea for the reasons I lay out in my response. I was going for a touch of sarcasm with the last sentence.The original post follows this edit....

"A point of info... Tyvek is an air infiltration BARRIER. It is used as a house wrap during construction to PREVENT air infiltration. It allows moisture vapor to pass through it so your insulation does not get damp, therefore reducing the insulations "R" value. To put it simply, it will stop air from passing through, yet allow moisture to escape. No air, and loss of moisture. Does that sound good to any of you?

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Yes I know. It was a sarcastic response to the post "Home made filter discs" I decided to cut and paste it so everyone would realize it wasn't a good idea. I should have been more clear. Sorry.

from www.tyvek.com:

DuPont Tyvek?
spunbonded olefin provide the unmatched combination of
protection, breathability, and durability. The product is
lightweight, easy to handle, and provides superior
protection from water, dirt, dust, UV and IR radiation and
many chemicals. Other uses for products made of DuPont
Tyvek? spunbonded olefin:

Agricultural Covers

Tree Base Wraps
Ground Protection
Freeze Control
Athletic Field Covers
Cotton Bale

I think the key here is breathability: I don't see any reason why you should not be able to use Tyvek.
