About this file

This document is a Department of Defense Clothing and Textiles specification for a Cloth, Mesh Knit raw material with Fabric Number AR-MTP-23-203. The specification details a mesh knit fabric made from a modacrylic/rayon blend, designed for ARTC base layer applications, with a coyote color (476/498). The fabric is a Type V knit with specific technical requirements, including a fabric weight of 3.0-3.8 oz/yd², a minimum thickness of 0.02 inches, and an open-hole, net-like warp knit mesh construction.

Key technical specifications include color fastness, dimensional stability, fabric stretch, vertical flame resistance, and toxicity requirements. The fabric must meet stringent quality standards, with defect limitations and specific testing methods from organizations like ASTM International and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC). The specification is approved for use by all Department of Defense agencies, with the preparing activity being Navy - MC and project number 8305-2022-035. Keywords associated with the fabric include baselayer, drawers, extreme cold weather, thermal underlayer, and no-melt/no-drip properties.

Department of Defense - Internal

ITP2|Hole Size Determination|3363| The hole size is determined by measuring the hole void in both the course and wale directions and taking the average of the course and wale void dimensions. A minimum of ten voids shall be measured in each direction. The cloth should be laid flat and be under no tension when measuring hole void.

ITP8|Dry Time - Fabric|6487| Apparatus and materials. The following apparatus and materials shall be used: a.Wringer (motor driven) (see AATCC
TM70 and 6.6). b.Laboratory balance, accurate to 0.01 gram. c.White AATCC textile blotting paper, 25 x 25
centimeters (see AATCC TM70 and 6.6). d.Water, distilled. e.250-milliliter glass beaker. Test specimens. The fabric

samples and blotting paper should be conditioned at 65±2 percent relative humidity (RH) and 70±2 °F for a minimum of 4 hours. Three 2- by 2-inch test specimens shall be tested per sample. Drying time test procedure. The following

drying time test procedure shall be followed: a.Run test in standard conditions: 65±2 percent RH and 70±2 °F.
b.Weigh the conditioned specimen using a laboratory balance accurate to 0.01 gram. c.Place 100 milliliters of distilled
water into a 250-milliliter glass beaker. d.Submerge the specimen in the beaker of water for 30 minutes. Make certain
that the specimen is completely submerged to insure complete wetting. e.Remove the specimen and sandwich it

between two pieces of unused blotting paper. Pass the sandwich through the wringer with a dead weight load of 27.7±0.5 kilograms. f. Immediately place specimen on the balance with top door of the balance open, side doors closed and record wet weight either to the nearest 0.01 or 0.10 gram. (The degree of dryness shall be determined by the user.) Manually monitor weight at set intervals until dry or use an automated balance with capability to weigh

specimen until dry (see 4.5.1.3.4.c). Record time to dry.g.Repeat for remaining specimens. Average the 3
specimens. Drying time test notes. a.Wringer (motor driven): See AATCC TM70. b.Blotting paper: See AATCC
TM70. c.Balance: If software is used for the balance, it shall be validated prior to use.

ITP5|Labile Sulfur|3363| Two (2) 1.50 (± 0.01) gram samples from each sample unit shall be tested. Each of the two (2) samples shall be cut into very small pieces and placed into separate test tubes. Prepare an acidic tin(II) chloride (stannous chloride) solution by dissolving 100 g SnCl2 (ACS grade) in 100 mL of 35% hydrochloric acid (ACS grade) and adding the mixture to 50 mL of distilled water. Prepare a lead acetate solution by dissolving 5.0 g of lead acetate (CP reagent grade) in a small amount of distilled water and diluting to a total of 100 mL. If the solution is not clear, add a few drops (one at a time) of glacial acetic acid until the solution is clear. The samples shall be submersed the acidic tin(II) chloride solution. A filter paper wet out with the lead acetate solution shall be placed over the top of the test tube.

The test tube containing the textile sample, tin(II) chloride and wet filter paper shall be heated over a low flame until the solution is boiling. The solution should not be heated for more than 15 seconds. A brown to black stain on the filter paper should be evaluated as follows: Free - The filter paper shows no discoloration or staining of any kind. Slight - The filter paper shows a light tan to light brown discoloration stain. Moderate - The filter paper shows a dark brown discoloration stain. Severe - The filter paper shows a black color stain. The rating shall be recorded. The results shall be recorded as “pass” or “fail. **

ITP1|Moisture Regain Calculation |3363| The commercial moisture regain (CMR) values from ASTM D1909 shall be used for the fibers used in the yarn blend to calculate the moisture regain with the following formula: CMR of Fiber #1×Fiber #1 blend percentage CMR of Fiber #2×Fiber #2 blend percentage + CMR of Fiber #3×Fiber #3 blend percentage Total commercial moisture regain (CMR) Example: 78/22 modacrylic/rayon fabric 0.4%×78% modacrylic+11%×22% rayon=2.7% commercial moisture regain Where 0.4% is the CMR value for modacrylic fiber (class 1) and 11% is the CMR value for rayon
