The Resistance of Impermeable Materials to Penetration by Liquid Vesicant Agents

Abstract

This is a progress report of the study of the liquid vesicant resistance of impermeable materials, particularly coated fabrics. The test methods used and the conditions affecting the vesicant resistance are described. Special attention has been given to the evaluation of several types of coatings. Butyl rubber was found to be the most resistant satisfactory coating material. It is also recommended that alkyd resin type coatings to be considered for fabrics used for cockpit and engine covers. These data have been assembled for the information of the Bureau.
