Abstract: There is provided a polyurethane and/or polyacrylic coating and/or film that includes a polyurethane and/or polyacrylic layer; a biodegradation-inducing additive in the polyurethane and/or polyacrylic layer at a concentration of between 0.1 to 6% by weight. This polyurethane and/or polyacrylic coating and/or film is biodegradable.

Abstract: There is provided a synthetic polymer fibre having an amorphous phase of at least 10% of the crystallinity ratio. The synthetic polymer fibre includes 0.1 to 5.0 wt. % of a biodegradation—inducing additive with respect to the total weight of the synthetic polymer fibre. The biodegradation-inducing additive is incorporated in the amorphous phase such that the biodegradation-inducing additive is physically and/or chemically accessible for a biodegradation initiation to form nuclei of biodegradation within the amorphous phase.

Abstract: A multilayer protective fabric material covering for providing protection against chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear material (CBRN), especially in the form of aerosols or microbes, protective equipment or garments made from such material, and methods of manufacturing the material. The protective fabric material comprises a fabric shell layer and a second layer, adjacent to the fabric shell layer, the second layer comprising three sublayers which may be laminated together to form a sandwich layer. The first sublayer is a non-woven microporous membrane which is at least partly impermeable to aerosols, microbes or a combination thereof, and which is at least partly permeable to air, which may comprise polyurethane, Teflon™, or some other suitable polymer. The second sublayer is a comfort or moisture wicking layer comprising woven or knitted fabric. The third sublayer comprises activated carbon material.

Abstract: The present application is directed to a novel composition which acts as a barrier to noxious agents while adding self-detoxifying catalytic treatments to neutralize the noxious and harmful warfare agents when applied for example on a fabric, or other solid support.
