BALLISTIC PROTECTIVE BUOYANT MATERIALS
Abstract
Using hydrophobed 1.0 denier Acrilan staple fibers processed into needled battings, it was determined that ballistic effectiveness decreased with an increase in the amount of needling. From a limited investigation, it appears that the ballistic performance of a needled felt increases with an increase in areal density up to a certain value, above which additional weight per square yard does not result in any significant improve ent. A needled batt, 50 oz/sq. yd., containing 6 denier Nylon tirecord fibers was found to be equal, approximately, in ballistic efficiency to a 16 oz/sq. yd. needled batt of 1 denier Acrilan. (Author)
