Lightweight inflatable material with low permeability
Abstract
Material features combination of Mylar, for strength, and Saran, for impermeable qualities. Second lamination of Mylar prevents blocking, adds strength, and increases barrier rating. Different combinations of laminations produce variety of thicknesses and barrier ratings. Material can be metallized for increased barrier reliability and radar reflectivity, and can be treated with a heat-resistant coating.
