Aluminized Firemen's (Fire Proximity) Handwear: Redesign of Experimental Prototype.

Abstract

The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility (NCTRF) continued development work to improve a new experimental configuration of aluminized fire proximity handwear having increased tactility and manipulatory capabilities. An improved prototype was completed and additional quantities of this model are being manufactured for further testing and establishment of thermal protection parameters. Performance of tests is recommended with a view towards completing the program and possible adoption of this new configuration as a replacement for current standard fire proximity handwear.
