Chemical Resistance of Textile with a Butyl-Rubber Polymeric Mixture Against Decontamination Mixture on the Base of Chlorinated Aliphatic and Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Used equipment for providing hermetic isolative protection of the Czech Armed Forces Chemical Corps specialists’ body surface is currently solved with the employment of a mixture based on butyl-rubber. By producers declared protective properties of used barrier material does not mention a potential influence of decontamination mixtures and their components on the change of protective properties. A paper deals with selected chemical properties of butyl-rubber and points to the destructive influences of selected decontamination mixtures on protective textile used to production of isolative hermetic protective equipment. Study of barrier material chemical resistance against permeation of selected chemical compounds and mixtures creates the base presumption for evaluation of its usability.
