The Weathering Resistance of Some Cotton Polyester Corespun Ducks Exposed at Innisfail, Queensland.

Abstract

Two samples of cotton/polyester corespun duck from a previous trial, four samples representative of current production for the Australian Army, and two experimental samples expected to have improved resistance to weathering were assessed for performance in the tropics. Two of the samples had much better resistance to weathering than the others. They had been flame-, rot-, and water-proofed and pigmented to give increases of mass above the mass of the loomstate ducks of about 85% and 65%.
