Undergarment PPE with modular structure for staff working in the national defense, public order and security system
Journal Title: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Materials and Systems (ICAMS) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The protection of operational staff from defense, public order, security structures, with a personal protective equipment system adequate to the conditions of execution of specific missions is a major desiderate for optimizing the efficiency of these formations. Reducing losses, increasing combativeness of fighters and the time actually dedicated to the mission are factors influenced by the quality of individual protection equipment. Underwear is the functional part of the military clothing system and it is affected by middle and outer clothing layers. Main function of the underwear is to maintain user's skin dry and improve thermal and moisture sensations on the skin. The aim of the project was to develop functional undergarment equipment, designed to be integrated in specialized protection equipment systems, in order to ensure the survival and resistance of operational staff from the defense, public order, security structures, in variable conditions of temperature, activity and weight levels of the equipment carried. The functional cellulose fibers (ex: Cell Solution Clima, Cell Solution Protection and Cell Solution Skin Care), blended with natural cellulosic fibres have been selected and used to accomplish the knitted fabrics. Prototypes of undergarment PPE which are integrated or non-integrated in specialized equipment of end users were evaluated and tested in real conditions of use.
