Fabrication of T142 Tank Track Pads for Evaluation of a Rubber-Kevlar Composite Compound

Abstract

A composite compound consisting of the 'Tri-Band' formulation and Kevlar fiber was developed for evaluation in T142 tank track pads. Bonding of the rubber to the fiber was achieved by addition of bonding agents to the compound. 175, T142 pads each of the 'Tri-Blend' formulation and the developed composite were molded for vehicle testing. The data given shows the physical properties of these compounds.
