I think Miriam T was halfway there, but chose the wrong answer. PTFE is one material from which it can be made, and foil is not right for Folie. How about "pressure-compensating membrane"?
John Bishop (asker) Jul 9, 2013:
DAE = Druckausgleichselement I should have thought of that, I guess! The source text does contain the word Druckausgleichselement, but not close to the one occurrence of DAE.

Peer comment(s):

disagree philgoddard : You've got your wires crossed here, if you'll excuse the pun. Your reference includes the word Druckausgleichselement, or DAE, but PTFE (it's the same in German) is mentioned elsewhere in the document.

No, philgoddard-this actually is an option among others!
neutral Hans-Jochen Trost : @philgoddard - actually no. PTFE is an option for DAE but not the only one. See e.g. here: http://www.elektroniknet.de/e-mechanik-passive/gehaeuse/arti...
