Development of Enhanced Chemical Biological (CB) Closure

"The CB uniform program requires a state-of-the-art closure system for the next generation of protective clothing. Advances in fabrics, design and technology must integrate with the closures in order to achieve the best possible synthesis andcomputability. To date, no closure system or fastening products available have been designed with air/water tight CB protection as the priority. Until it is, the scope of the CB uniform program will be limited as existing CB air/water tight fasteners arepresently too stiff, hard starting, bulky, difficult to fold, uncomfortable to wear, permeable and/or expensive. Lightweight CB liquid, vapor and aerosol-tight suits that are also flexible, easily packable, launderable, durable, cost efficient and lendthemselves to mass production have been created and must be built. Diversified Marketing Group is an agile, free-thinking company and will research the technology, produce prototypes, formulate cost-effective manufacturing bringing the CBD closures up tothe state-of-the-art. We are the only company that has already researched this topic extensively, assembled a team of proven experts that can be relied upon to actually deliver an outstanding solution to the military, commercial and civilian market. PhaseI requires 6 months and the Phase I Option will require an additional 4 months to complete. In addition to the benefit the results of this SBIR topic will directly serve the CB uniforms, this tech
