German term

Diffusionsoffenheit

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Nano-Products
"Die Membranfunktion der Klima-Beschichtung (variable Diffusionsoffenheit) sorgt dauerhaft für die Verdunstung überschüssiger Mauerwerksfeuchtigkeit ohne Luftdicht zu versiegeln."

From a description of a thermo-ceramic coating product's features and benefits. I have absolutely no idea what is meant by "Diffusionsoffenheit" and can't find a translation for ti anywhere. In fact, there seem to be very few references for the word at all. TIA for any light you can shed on its meaning in English.
