Evaluation of Napped Fabrics for Aerosolized Chemical Agent Protection

摘要

The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility subjected various outershellfabrics from existing chemical protective suits to four levels of napping. The napped fabrics were then evaluated for potential increase in protection to aerosolized chemical agents. Based on laboratory testing, napping had little or no effect on the filtration efficiency, physical or insulation properties of the fabrics tested.
