Alternate Materials Evaluation for XM 29 Gas Mask

Abstract

This report covers the evaluation of polyurethane elastomers for use as a lens in the XM-29 Gas Masks. The physical and chemical properties of several commercially available polyurethane resins and adhesives are presented. Thermoplastic polyethers showed the most promise among the polyurethanes investigated, and an Epon/Versamid adhesive showed the most promise among adhesives tested.
