Simms, D.L., 1956. THE EFFECT OF WATER-REPELLENT FINISHES ON THE FLAMMABILITY OF BATTLE-DRESS SERGE. Fire Research Notes 241


ABSTRACT

Battle-dress serge has often to be waterproofed and the purpose of these tests was to determine the effect of these treatments on the flammability of the material. These were supplied by Ministry of Supply (MX5). Samples of the untreated battle-dress serge were supplied, together with samples treated with Velan, Mystolene and a silicone water-repellent. Details are given below in Table 1.
