Improved Visor Material for DPE Outergarment.

Abstract

This task was authorized to investigate alternative materials for the current PVC visor of the DPE Outergarment that will increase the shelf life of Outergarment without affecting its protective capability. A material search and test program isolated an Ionomer (Surlyn) as the improved material for the visor, and a functional test program verified the suitability of Surlyn as the visor material in the DPE Outergarment.
