COMPOSITE CHEMICAL BARRIER FABRIC FOR PROTECTIVE GARMENTS

摘要

2137133 9324321 PCTABS00028 Composite chemical barrier films and fabrics that are particularly useful in protective garments. The composite barrier material may be made by laminating a barrier film (22) to a flexible substrate (24) using a thermoplastic resin (23) and topcoating the barrier film with a similar or dissimilar thermoplastic resin (21) to allow fabric seaming when the fabric is fabricated into a protective garment. Protective garments made from the materials are lightweight while maintaining an adequate balance of strength and chemical protection.
