Flame Testing of Two Samples of Exposure Suit Material.

Abstract

Reported deficiencies in authorized quick-donning ship-abandon type exposure suits has prompted use of other suits made of materials with unknown flame and heat retardant properties. Therefore, tests were requested to be addressed first to the question of flammability of the material, and second to the question of heat retardation by the material. The materials tested may provide better protection against standard 3-second exposures to fuel fires than any fabrics previously tested in this laboratory. However, the protection falls off sharply as the exposure is continued.
