Abstract: A self-heating and self-sealing bladder comprising of a fuel and water resistant layer overlaid on a mold; an adhesive tack layer overlaid on the fuel and water resistant layer; a first fabric reinforcement layer overlaid on the adhesive tack layer; a microballoon powder, water containing microspheres, and reactive salt powders disposed in a plurality of pouches such that upon activation the microballoon powder and the reactive salt powders come in contact with the water and react to create a formulation that results in heat and expansion, thus a self-sealing capability; and, a second fabric reinforcement layer overlaid the plurality of pouches.
