NCTRF PD 06-11: Purchase Description for Waterproof and Moisture Vapor Permeable Cloth

This is a Navy purchase description and specification document for camouflage, waterproof, and moisture vapor permeable cloths with Anchor, Constitution, and Eagle (ACE) printed logos, approved by the Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility. The specification covers three cloth types: Type I (covered under separate specification NCTRF PD15-06), Type II (Desert camouflage NWU II with ACE logo), and Type III (Woodland camouflage NWU III with ACE logo). The cloths are intended for use in manufacturing camouflage clothing for United States Navy military personnel, specifically for working parkas (PD 04-09) and trousers (PD 04-11) in desert and woodland variants, classified as class 1 materials.

The material composition must be a laminated, waterproof, and moisture vapor permeable fabric composed of a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane faced with nylon and knit backing. Key physical requirements include maximum weight of 6.0 ounces per square yard, minimum tearing resistance of 4.0 kgf in warp and filling directions, hydrostatic burst resistance of 110 psi initially and 90 psi after diethyltoluamide exposure, minimum moisture vapor transmission rate of 4500 g/m²/24 hours, and maximum stiffness of 7.5 cm in warp direction. The cloth must maintain water permeability with no leakage across multiple test conditions and demonstrate colorfastness ratings of 2-3 for black and 3-4 for other colors under laundering, light, and synthetic perspiration exposure. Conformance inspection requires testing of 2-5 sample units depending on lot size (800 yards or less requires 2 samples; 801-22,000 yards requires 3 samples; over 22,001 yards requires 5 samples), with testing per ASTM, AATCC, TAPPI, and ISO standards outlined in Table II. The Government retains exclusive intellectual property rights to the desert and woodland digitized camouflage patterns and the ACE logo; contractors and subcontractors must destroy all scraps, seconds, and rejected materials containing this intellectual property and are prohibited from selling or transferring such items.

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.

2/ Hydrostatic resistance.

a. To Burst. ASTM D-751, Hydrostatic Resistance, Procedure A (Pressure Application by

Mullen Type Hydrostatic Tester), Procedure 1 with water pressure applied to the face side of the test specimens.

b.Sustained . ASTM D-3393 except that a water pressure of 40 psi shall be used and applied to the face side of the test specimens. The test may be performed on any device, which tests the equivalent specimen area at the equivalent pressure.

c. After diethytoluamide. (see 6.4) Five specimens shall be laid flat, face side up, on a glass plate 4 by 4 inches by 1/4 inch thick. Three drops of diethyltoluamide containing 75% diethyltoluamide and 25% ethanol shall be applied to the center of each specimen. A glass plate of the same dimensions shall be placed on the specimen (or specimen area) and a pressure of 0.25 pounds per square inch of glass plate contact area be applied to the assembly. After 16 hours, the specimens shall be removed from between the glass plates and tested immediately for hydrostatic resistance.

3/ 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 + o F - 0 o F) 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, 150-160 o F and dry for approximately thirty

(30) minutes or until dry. The laundering equipment, washer and dryer, shall be in accordance with AATCC No.135.

4/ 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)

5/ Synthetic perspiration test. The specimen, 8 inches by 8 inches, shall be cut and exposed to synthetic perspiration as follows: the synthetic perspiration solution shall be made by combining

3.0 grams sodium chloride, 1.0 gram trypticase soy broth powder, 1.0 gram normal propyl propionate, 0.5 gram of liquid lecithin and 500 ml of distilled water. Cover the solution and stir while heating to 50 o C until all ingredients are dissolved. Then, cool the solution to 35 o C, remove cover and dispense it immediately with a pipette or other suitable measuring device. Dispense 2 ml of perspiration solution at 35 o C, onto the center of an 8 inch by 8 inch by 1/4 inch glass plate.

Place the specimen on the glass plate with the back side contacting the glass. Dispense an additional 2 ml of the synthetic perspiration solution onto the center of the specimen. Place a second 8 inch by 8 inch by 1/4 inch glass plate on top of the specimen and then place a 4 pound weight on top of and in the center of the assembly. After 16 hours, remove the specimen (do not rinse) and air dry the specimen before testing.

6/ Stiffness at 70 o F. TAPPI Method T-451, Preferred Procedure (1) except that five test specimens with the long dimension parallel to the warp direction of the cloth shall be tested and that the standard textile test conditions as specified in ASTM D-1776 shall be used.

7/ 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 70 o F and -40 o F. 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.

b. Water permeability after wet flex. (see 6.5) Three 14-inch long by full width (54-58 inches) samples shall be cut from the sample unit. The samples shall be subjected to 216 hours of washing in a Kenmore washer (AATCC Test Method 135, without soap) run in a continuous manner (detangling the samples every 24 hours). After 216 hours of washing is completed, the samples shall be hung to air dry, until fully dry, and then conditioned for 4 hours at 65% RH and 23 o C. The samples shall be subsequently subjected to water permeability testing at 5 sites spread equally along the width of each sample in accordance with the requirements above. If less than 7% of the sites fail water permeability (1 leak out of 15 sites tested), the sample unit is passed. Suter areas should be marked and the three samples from the sample unit should be subjected to an additional 216 hours (total of 432 hours on the samples) of continuous wash. After the additional 216 hours of continuous wash, water permeability should be conducted on fives sites per sample as described above.

If more than 33% of the sites fail (greater than 5 leaks out of the 15 test sites), the sample unit is failed. If less than 33% fail, the sample is considered to be passing. This test need only be performed at the start of each contract and then after every 10 production lots or on an annual basis, whichever comes first.

8/ Physical surface appearance.

a. After Laundering: Conduct 5 home laundering and drying cycles in accordance with footnote 3/. 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.

b.After Continuous wash: Three 14 inches by full width (54-58 inches) samples shall be cut from the sample unit. The samples shall be subject to 96 hours of Kenmore wash (AATCC

Test Method 135, without soap) run in a continuous manner in 24 hour increments

(detangling the samples every 24 hours). Samples shall be inspected for signs of delaminating or bubbling. Delamination is defined as an area greater than 1/8” in diameter, and is considered failing.

9/ Spray rating.

a. Initial. Testing shall be conducted in accordance with AATCC 22.

b. After 5 launderings. Laundering in accordance with footnote 3/, and testing shall be conducted in accordance with AATCC 22.

10/ Resistance to organic liquids.

a. Initial. Test in accordance with AATCC 118. Samples must pass a minimum of a 4 rating

(N-tetradecane).

b.After 5 launderings. Laundering in accordance with footnote 3/, and testing shall be conducted in accordance with AATCC 118.

11/ Colorfastness.

a. After Laundering. AATCC 135 (after 5 home laundering cycles) in accordance with footnote 3/.

b. After Light. AATCC No. 16, Option A (after 40 fading units) or E (after 150 kilojoules).

12/ Rated using the AATCC Gray Scale for Color Change Evaluation Procedure 1 and AATCC

Gray Scale for Staining Evaluation Procedure 2.

13/ Rated using the AATCC Nine Step Chromatic Transference Scale Evaluation Procedure 8.

4.2.3 Toxicity test. When required (see 6.2), an acute dermal irritation study and a skin sensitization study shall be conducted on laboratory animals. When the results of these studies indicate the finished cloth is not a sensitizer or irritant, a Repeat Insult Patch Test shall be performed in accordance with the Modified Draize Procedure. (See 2.3). If the requirement (see

3.9) can be demonstrated with historical use data, toxicity may not be required (see 6.2).
