Abstract

A multilayer chemical barrier fabric is made up of a base sheet of nonwoven polypropylene laminated to a multilayer film sheet having a film of ethylene vinyl alcohol sandwiched between films of nylon with a surface film of linear low-density polyethylene. Fabrics having this structure show resistance to breakthrough within 8 hours for 13 of 15 chemicals listed on the ASTM F1001 chemical test battery and shorter breakthrough times for the other two.
