Description

Thermal performance of our product is gauged with various techniques including Thermal Gravimetric Analysis with ballistic heating and cone calorimetry as well as two custom tests, flame torch testing and quartz lamp emitter testing which are designed to emulate real world heat and fire scenarios. The flame torch test requires that the product be coated evenly across an aluminum substrate to which a thermocouple is mounted. A MAPP Pro torch is inverted six inches from the surface of the coated substrate and is used to expose the product to open flame.

The Problem: In a blast or flash fire scenario, the exposed skin of the respondent is traumatized by the onslaught of irradiative heat emitted from the blast as well as the open flames which ensue. Current camouflage cosmetic products in use by the United States military and their allies do not protect the skin from such situations and in some cases can serve as an accelerant. In a typical blast situation the thermal flux lasts anywhere from 4-6 seconds and the time it takes the human skin to suffer a second degree burn is merely 2 seconds.
