Abstract:
Flame resistant fabrics of suitable strength and comfort level for use in apparel applications. The fabrics incorporate yarns utilizing specific blends of (A) halogen containing fibers, (B) silica embedded cellulosic fibers and (C) strength imparting synthetic fibers.
Abstract:
A composite is disclosed for use as military protection suit material against biological and chemical warfare agents. The composite comprises at least five layers and has two outermost sides. The outermost layers of the composite are textile substrates, such as woven, knit, and nonwoven fabrics. The middle layer is comprised of activated carbon granules positioned between, and secured to, the two textile substrates by adhesive. The adhesive layers provide durable bonding between the textile substrates and the activated carbon layer. The resulting composite is both breathable and flexible.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a protective garment system having two primary components. The first component, which serves as the outer layer of the garment, comprises a textile substrate that has been treated on one side with a hydrophobic composition and has been treated on the opposite side with an oleophobic composition. This combination is well-suited for protection against a variety of organic, oily type liquids (such as chemical warfare agents). The second component, which is a composite structure that serves as the inner layer of the garment, contains a core of activated carbon positioned between layers of adhesive and textile substrate.
