FLAME PROTECTION AFFORDED MICE BY A NONCOMBUSTIBLE GARMENT IN 100% OXYGEN ATMOSPHERES

Abstract

Thirty-nine mice, with hair clipped or unclipped, were clothed in a noncombustible garment, Beta cloth, and subjected to flame ignition in 100% oxygen atmospheres from 744 to 190 mm. Hg total pressure. The experimental results showed that the noncombustible garment afforded protection from combustion and flame propagation only if the animal's hair had been previously clipped. Further studies should be conducted in an effort to assure man's protection.
