Material for life jacket (personal floatation device)

04/15/2007 12:12 AM

hi

Im a student major material science, mostly over metal stuff. At this time i try manufacture life jacket after solas 1972. Until now i still cant physically to vary in Nylon fabric and the one that solas 1972 Nylon fabric approved of. Basicly i dont even know what solas agenda describe their rule about PFD, because i cant find their agenda in website :(

Any help, suggestion, opinion would be helpful :)

These are material that i chose:

  • Material: 200D x 200D nylon
  • Finishing: acrylic PU coated twice, water repellent

Pict example (the fabric that i like, but cant recognize the fabric yet, it should be around 400D): 400 denier coated nylon

It's a proven time tested material and so far can not be beaten.

Curious. Your emphasis is on the material choices involved. Are you planning a unique design for the Personal Flotation Device ? If so, there seems to be the unsresolved issue of a crotch strap on adult devices.

Do you have any thoughts on that discussion.
