Camouflage training clothes can be said to be the most widely used clothing variety in the army. On the one hand, officers and men have high exercise intensity and serious wear during training, and the strength of their fabrics, especially the wear resistance, has become the development focus of the research team of the Military Equipment Research Institute of the General Logistics Department. On the other hand, a large number of updates make cost control a necessary factor, and it is obviously not practical to improve the wear resistance of fabrics with high-priced high-strength fibers.
At this time, the appearance of vinylon just solved the two major problems of wear resistance and moderate price. "By increasing the polymerization degree of PVA, the fiber can form a compact skin during processing, and the drawing multiple is increased, and the high-strength vinylon fiber with strength of about 8cN/dtex is developed." Shi Meiwu, a professor-level senior engineer at the Military Equipment Research Institute of the General Logistics Department, said in an interview that the tensile fracture strength and tear strength of the new fabric are improved by using this low-cost and high-performance vinylon fiber as a reinforcing element.
The camouflage clothing fabric used is a mixture of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, respectively. The grid-like reinforcing ribs are embedded with polyester to improve the tear strength, and the warp threads are embedded with conductive filaments at a spacing of about 2cm, and the pattern is woodland camouflage. "Through the continuous experiments of researchers, adding 20% high-strength vinylon to the original polyester-cotton training suit can improve the strength of the fabric by 30%, and the wear index of flat clothes is 60% higher than that of the original training suit. Shi Meiwu proved the advantages of vinylon with experimental data.
