A heat sealable, adhesive-free seam and closure fabrics and clothing comprising the combination of a fabric scrim and a heat sealable water and vapor resistant coextruded laminations which provides a barrier against liquid substances and vapors. The coextrusion laminations are in abutment or overlap and comprise a film layer with an outer and inner layer of low density polyethylene and an intermediate layer of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol. The laminations are fusion bonded to a portion of the scrim in a manner whereby the polyethylene flows from said lamination, encapsulates the ends of the intermediate layer of the laminate and forms weld points with the said scrim to prevent penetration by liquid substances and vapors.

Seams and closures for plastic fabrics and clothing

The invention provides a fabric for use in the manufacture of protective garments, containers and covers comprising an inner layer of an tear resistant fabric of high tensile fibers, a film layer bonded on the top surface of said tear resistant fabric comprising a meltable polyhalogenated resin and a film layer of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer bonded on the bottom surface of the tear resistant fabric.

Fabrics for protective garment or cover

A composition for forming a coating comprising polyvinylidene difluoride and an aqueous emulsion of acrylates, methacrylates, an unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or acrylamide and a solvent having a low boiling point. The composition can be used to form a bandage or glove in situ.
