The Tearing of Weathered Rubber-Coated Fabrics.

Abstract

The wing-rip tear strengths of a nylon and of a Cotton fabric, each coated with natural rubber, neoprene, polyurethane or chlorosulphonated polyethylene and exposed to various weathering conditions, were determined. The coated nylon fabrics had higher tear strengths than the cotton ones, but were more variable. Polyurethane-coated nylon increased in tear strength on exposure at two Australian sites, but natural rubber coated cotton decreased on exposure in UK. Load during exposure reduced the tear strengths of the natural rubber coated fabrics. (Author)
