About this file
This document is a Department of Defense Clothing and Textiles specification for a Three-layer Knit Laminate raw material (Fabric# AR-MTP-25-207) targeted for Army use in 2025. The specification details a multi-layer laminated fabric with precise technical requirements, including a fabric weight of 4.0 +/- 0.4 oz/yd², a tan color (color code 499), and specific performance standards for hydrostatic pressure, water permeability, and toxicity testing.
The material must meet rigorous quality control standards, with detailed defect classifications for laminated fabrics. Testing requirements include evaluations for water permeability (initial and after synthetic perspiration), puncture propagation resistance, moisture vapor transmission, and surface appearance after laundering. Packaging specifications mandate continuous lengths of at least 50 yards, with rolls labeled for fiber content and face side identification. The document carries a Distribution Statement A, indicating approval for public release with unlimited distribution, and is prepared by the Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center.

Water permeability. ASTM D-751, Hydrostatic Resistance, Procedure B, Procedure 2 with a fixed hydrostatic head of 1 psi applied to the face side of the test specimen for 10 minutes. Five specimens shall be tested. Leakage is defined as any visual appearance of one (1) or more areas where weeping, wicking, or a droplet of water appears within the 4-1/2 inch diameter test area. In case of the weeping or wicking type failure, use blotting paper to confirm wetness or leakage. The test may be performed on any device, which tests the equivalent specimen area at the equivalent pressure. a.
Water permeability after Flex at 70F and -40F. One warp and one fill specimen, 8 inch by 12 inch area, shall be cut from the sample unit with the 8-inch dimension in the indicated direction (warp or filling, as applicable).
The specimen shall be conditioned and flexed as specified in ASTM F-392, except that the specimen shall not be aged, the short edges shall not be heat sealed or otherwise joined, and the specimen shall be flexed for 1500 full flex cycles. Two six (6) inch by eight (8) inch specimens shall be cut from the 8-inch by 12-inch flexed specimen and tested for water permeability as described above.

3 Puncture Propagation Kilograms of Force, warp Minimum 3.5 ASTM International ASTM D2582 Standard Test Method for Puncture-Propagation Tear Resistance of Plastic Film and Thin Sheeting
Tear resistance. ASTM D-2582 with exceptions as follows: Five warp and five filling specimens shall be tested.
Specimen size shall be 8 inches by 8 inches. Only one tear shall be made on a single specimen. The specimen shall be positioned with the face side toward the probe and with the designated yarns of the face fabric at right angles to the direction of tear. If the tear is not straight on face side of the laminate, the result shall be considered invalid and another specimen shall be tested. The thickness of the specimen shall not be measured.
4 Puncture Propagation Kilograms of Force, fill Minimum 3.5 ASTM International ASTM D2582 Standard Test Method for Puncture-Propagation Tear Resistance of Plastic Film and Thin Sheeting
Tear resistance. ASTM D-2582 with exceptions as follows: Five warp and five filling specimens shall be tested.
Specimen size shall be 8 inches by 8 inches. Only one tear shall be made on a single specimen. The specimen shall be positioned with the face side toward the probe and with the designated yarns of the face fabric at right angles to the direction of tear. If the tear is not straight on face side of the laminate, the result shall be considered invalid and another specimen shall be tested. The thickness of the specimen shall not be measured.
5 Moisture Vapor Transmission g/m^2/24h Minimum 6000 ISO ISO 15496
Moisture vapor transmission rate. ISO #15496, except results are reported in MVTR by using the following formula MVTR Kace = (2168*24) / (1/WVP + 1/WVPapp) Note: with MVTR in g/(m2*24h); WVP in g(Pa*m2*h)
Physical Surface Appearance Change after Laundering
No change after 5 launderings when compared to unlaundered.
NCTRF PD 04-09
Physical surface appearance. Conduct 5 home laundering and drying cycles in accordance with test method options.
Each sample, 48 inches in length by full width shall be cut in half across the width of the cloth. One half of the sample (24 inches in length) shall be laundered and the remaining half retained as the unlaundered portion for the final evaluation, as necessary. After each drying cycle, examine both sides of the cloth for changes in physical surface appearance when compared to the unlaundered sample.
Laundering procedure. Place 2.0 ± 0.2 pounds of the cloth and if needed, ballast in an automatic washing machine set on permanent press cycle, high water level and warm (100+10F - 0F) wash temperature. Place 0.5 ounce (14 grams) of 1993 AATCC Standard Reference Detergent (non-phosphate) without optical brighteners into the washer. The duration of each laundering cycle shall be 30 ± 5 minutes. After laundering, place sample and ballast in an automatic tumble dryer set on permanent press cycle, 150-160F and dry for approximately thirty (30) minutes or until dry. The laundering equipment, washer and dryer, shall be in accordance with AATCC No.135
