WEATHERING RESISTANCE OF FUNGICIDAL VINYL COATED COTTON FABRICS

摘要

The fungicide dehydroebietylammonium pentachlorophenoxide, fornmlated in experimental yellow and olive drab vinyl coatings on cotton fabric has been evaluated for resistance to weathering. A comparison has been made with copper 8-hydroxyoui.noline formulated in an experimental olive drab vinyl costing and with an olive drab USAF stock vinyl coated fabric con¬taining the same fungicide. The evaluations were based on breaking and tearing strength after outdoor weathering at the Alaska, Florida, New Mexico, and Wright Patterson AFB exposure sites and on color change after weathering. The amount of breakdown in strength of the materials evaluated in this study has been correlated with the amount of light energy received from the sun.
