Method and system for protecting armor from environmental exposure

摘要

A method for making hydrocarbon and water resistant armor composite may include applying an adhesive layer to upper and lower surfaces of a stack of armor materials. In one embodiment, a first sheet and a second sheet of porous materials may be provided. A protective environmental coating may be applied to the sheets of porous materials. In another embodiment, an adhesive layer may be applied to upper and lower surfaces of a stack of armor materials and then providing a first sheet and a second sheet of nonporous materials. The protective environmental coating as well as the first and second sheets of nonporous materials may make the hydrocarbon and water resistant armor impervious to at least fuel, oil, air, or water. The hydrocarbon and water resistant armor may form part of ballistic apparel, a blast blanket, a ballistic panel, or a fragmentation panel.
