Chemical and Biological Warfare Agent resistant materials for collective protection

Powerply COLPRO Collective Protection Material is used to fabricate chemically hardened saferooms, emergency shelters and tent liners to proved Toxic Free Areas (TFAs) in conjunction with Air Conditioned NBC Filtration Units.

The material has been independently tested and evaluated by the Chemical Hardening Group at Dstl Chemical and Biological Sciences, Porton Down and the US Army RDECOM (formerly SBCCOM) Natick, MA.  Unhardened Collective Protection Shelters (UCPS) are in service with the British Armed Forces and other NATO countries.  

Powerply COLPRO is subject to UK Export Licence requirements from the Department of Trade & Industry (UK DTI).

The material is a reinforced barrier membrane incorporating a woven-reinforcement fabric to provide good tensile strength and puncture resistance.  It is lightweight yet strong with good mechanical and performance characteristics.  It is fully heat-weldable (hot air and/or hot wedge) and ultrasonic weldable to provide gas tight seams.
