Claims
- 1. A body protection material consisting essentially of a laminate of:
- a) an outer layer of substantially air impermeable cellular rubber; and
- b) an inner layer of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene wherein the inner layer is bonded directly to the outer layer with an adhesive selected from the group consisting of silicone adhesives, polyurethane adhesives, acrylic adhesives and rubber-based adhesives.
- 2. A body protection material according to claim 1 wherein the inner layer of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene has a coating of hydrophilic liquid water impermeable and water vapor permeable polyurethane.
- 3. A body protection material according to claim 2 wherein the coating is on the side of the inner layer of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene that is opposite the outer layer of cellular rubber.
- 4. A body protection material according to claim wherein the coating is between the outer layer of cellular rubber and the inner layer of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and serves as the adhesive between the outer layer and the inner layer.
- 5. A body protection material according to claim 1 wherein a layer of fabric is laminated to the surface of the outer layer of substantially air impermeable cellular rubber opposite the inner layer of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
- 6. A body protection material according to claim 4 wherein a layer of fabric is laminated to the surface of the outer layer of substantially air impermeable cellular rubber opposite the inner layer of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
