Abstract

The objective of the work was to improve the durability of the aluminized fabric currently used for the outer layer of fireffighters' proximity coats. Two possible improvements were developed: (a) Substituting a Viton/bronze coating for the aluminum, and adding a topcoat of pigmented urethane to improve wear resistance; (b) Adding a topcoat of pigmented urethane to the aluminized fabric to improve wear resistance. Sample lengths of both types of coated fabric were produced.<br />Rept. no. GIDEP-574.01.01.00-G7-01.
