National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Development of Wool-Synthetic Blended Fabrics for Summer Flight Garments.

AD090897

Publication Date	1956
Personal Author	Langlais, G. O.; Fuller, S. L.
Page Count	79
Abstract	A study of wool-synthetic blend fabrics was made to develop one suitable for summer flight clothing. A survey of worsted manufacturers was conducted to obtain commercially available blend fabrics that approximated the basic requirements. The results of tests performed on the fabrics obtained were considered in subsequent design and manufacture. Identically constructed fabrics composed of blends of nylon, Dacron, Orlon, and Dynel (each blended at 155, 30%, and 605) with wool and an all-wool control were produced; these were tested and compared with respect to fabric properties. Particular emphasis on the flame-resistance characteristics, specifically centered on the degree of melting and 'dripping' after ignition - indicated of major consequence in the establishment of this program - led to the selection of the final fabric, a 70% wool-30% Dynel fabric. The unfavorable results obtained in this program on any of the synthetic fiber-wool blends and constructions, is not to be construed as an indication of the performance of other blends or constructions or where other parameters of tests and performance are stipulated.
