Abstract

The outer shell consists of a plain weave multifilament fabric derived from aramid, polyimide, polyamide or polybenzimidazole yarns. The inner sheet is a woven, non-woven or knitted material. The two sheets are laminated with an adhesive which enables the two sheets to be laminated in such a manner that the two sheets are non slipping with respect to one another while enabling the laminate to be air permeable with a minimum of ten (10) cubic feet per minute (CFM), when tested in accordance with ASTM D737.
