  • Patent number: 7157388
    Abstract: A unique and novel durable environmentally stabilized, waterproof, and moisture vapor permeable composite sheet material is described that includes a moisture permeable monolithic film, coating, or film/nonwoven laminate, that is held in close proximity to one or more layers of durable strength enhancing fabrics. The strength enhancing fabrics can include cotton, polyester, cotton/polyester blends, acrylic, and other synthetic materials and blends. The breathable monolithic film or coating is preferably polyester or polyurethane based. The breathable and durability enhancing layers are preferably laminated using hot melt adhesives such as polyester-based powder bond adhesives or using solvent-based polyurethane adhesives.

  • Publication number: 20040006815
    Abstract: A contamination avoidance garment for emergency egress during nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) events is described. The garment is comprised of a single item, or of multiple garment pieces, and is configured so as to afford the wearer a high degree of barrier to a toxic environment while evacuating to a toxic free area. The garment is designed for easy donning and doffing, and combines the performance characteristics of both continuous film-based barrier composites and toxic vapor adsorbing fabrics. The garment is configured to reduce the influx of toxic chemicals by preferentially controlling pressure differentials within the garment by filtering the air entering various garment openings such as sleeve-ends, neck openings, front openings, leg-openings, and/or specifically designed environmental filtration panels.
