Gore Chempak Selectively Permeable Fabric has been chosen by Blauer Manufacturing Co. for its single-piece chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear protective suits. The breathable material permits law enforcement and other first responders to stay active on site for up to eight hours.
The new XRT suit “is a single mission coverall that can be donned and doffed multiple times in the event of false alarms,” says a spokesman from W.L. Gore & Associates in Elkton, Md. He points out that the fabric was “engineered from an intrinsically stable, non-carbon based membrane that does not absorb chemicals or degrade over time.”
