Abstract
A multilayer chemical barrier fabric is made up of a base sheet of nonwoven polypropylene laminated on one side to a multilayer film sheet having a film of ethylene vinyl alcohol sandwiched between films of nylon with a surface film if linear low-density polyethylene bonded to the outer film of nylon and laminated on the other side to a multilayer film sheet having a central film of polyvinylidine chloride, an inner film of ethylene vinyl acetate, and an outer film of low-density polyethylene. Fabrics having this structure show resistance to breakthrough within eight hours for all fifteen chemicals listed on the ASTM F1001 chemical test battery. A composite fabric having the above structure, but omitting the multilayer film that contains polyvinylidine chloride, is also disclosed.
