Patent ID: 7820570

Claim:
A puncture and abrasion resistant, air and fluid impervious laminated fabric, capable of withstanding temperatures above 120° F. without exhibiting a tacky surface comprising: (a) a woven fabric base layer having warp and weft yarns, at least the warp yarns being formed of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, the warp yarns having a denier of between about 300 and about 1,200, the fabric base layer being puncture and abrasive resistant and having first and second sides; (b) a film of ethylene vinyl acetate bonded directly to at least one side of the woven fabric base layer; and (c) at least one polyethylene outer film being secured to the film of ethylene vinyl acetate and bonded thereto by heat and pressure, whereby the ethylene vinyl acetate effectively bonds the outer polyethylene film to the base layer, and the outer polyethylene film will form an air and fluid impervious layer and withstand temperatures above 120° F. without becoming tacky.
