Abstract: A mat for cooling a person on the beach, side of a swimming pool, and even in a vehicle, is provided with recirculated ice water from an insulated reservoir using a small battery powered pump. The mat is made of sheets of urethane coated nylon or PVC film that is heat sealed on all sides, and to tubes that contain the ice water in and out. The sheets are also sealed to provide channels that hold extruded strips so formed as to assure that ice water will continue to flow through the channels even when the weight of the person would tend to close the space between the sheets.

Abstract: Material for chemical protective clothing that is both flexible and capable of withstanding attacks by a wide range of chemicals as well as solvents utilizes a thin film (less than 2 mil) of PVF laminated with a thick sheet (5 to 20 mil) of CPE on one or both sides of the PVF. The PVF provides added protection for chemicals and protects against solvents not protected against by CPE.
