13. Effects of Accelerated Ultraviolet (UV) Weathering on Firefighter Protective Clothing Outer Shell Fabrics
Series: Technical Note (NIST TN)
Report Number: 1657
Published: 2/25/2010
Authors: Rick D Davis, Joannie W Chin, Chiao-Chi Lin
Abstract: The Outer Shell of the jacket and pants of the firefighter s protective clothing is constructed of a fabric that is commonly a blend of polyaramid, polybenzimidazole, and/or poly(melamine-formaldehyde) fibers. The Outer Shell contributes to the ther ...

20. Effect of Artificial Perspiration and Cleaning Chemicals on Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Ballistic Fibers
Published: 1/1/2009
Authors: Joannie W Chin, Sylvain H. Petit, Amanda Lattam Forster, Michael A Riley, Kirk D Rice
Abstract: During routine field use of soft body armor, the ballistic panels often become saturated with perspiration. This condition motivates the user to clean and/or deodorize the armor, and anecdotal evidence is given for various methods used to accomplish ...
