dampdoorlaatbaarheid


Explanation:
ik geef het maar als alternatief: normaal is luchtdoorlaatbaarheid/-latendheid niet de belangrijke eigenschap van dit soort materialen, wel deze term c.q. de dampdichtheid

nu ik je vorige vraag eens heb gelezen, kan/zal het in dit geval toch over lucht en niet over damp gaan

in dat geval kun je natuurlijk ook kiezen voor de meer tot de verbeelding sprekende (meer letterlijke) term: ademend vermogen
