Patent attributes
A firefighting water garment consists of a reinforced cotton fabric with combing manufactured through weaving of doubled yarn with loose end with an area weight approximately 346 g/m2 which is able to absorb up to six-times more liquid than it weights. The fabric is soaked with a water solution that consists of 50% of water, at least, of 2.7 to 50% of extinguishing agent and of 1 to 10% of a component reflecting heat radiation. Another necessary component is powder titanium dioxide which reflects heat radiation perfectly. Evaporation of water from the suit occurs under presence of fire, and the water starts to cool surface of the fabric and thus prevents overheating of the organism. This way marked extension of time for suit exposure in the fire and prevention of rise of dangerous burns on skin is achieved.
