1. Breathable chemical and biological agent protective garments and laminates comprising;
- A) a non-absorbing thermoplastic top or outer layer of less than 1.0 oz/yd2 in weight which provides a barrier against toxic liquids and slows gaseous penetration;
B) a first non-woven scrim layer which has been impregnated with an agent selected from the group consisting of at least one of anti-microbial agent and anti-toxic chemical agent,C) a microporous thermoplastic layer having a surface energy of less than 75 dynes/cm bonded to said first scrim layer by a minimum amount of adhesive whereby an air gap is provided;
D) a second non-woven thermoplastic scrim layer which has been impregnated with an agent selected from the group consisting of anti-microbial agent and anti-toxic chemical agent, andE) an intermediate microporous thermoplastic layer encasing said second scrim layer.

16. A breathable chemical and biological agent protective garment comprising;
-
a) a top layer of a thermoplastic of less than 1.0 oz/yd2 in weight selected from the group consisting of ethylene vinyl alcohol, nylon and polyethylene terephthalate which is a barrier against toxic substances; b) a first non-woven scrim layer bonded to said top layer having incorporated therein at least one of an antimicrobial agent or an anti-toxic chemical agent, said scrim being melt blown, spunbonded or spunlaced thermoplastic; c) a breathable microporous thermoplastic layer having a surface energy of less than 75 dynes/cm selected from the group consisting of ethylene vinyl alcohol, nylon, ionomer and polyethylene terephthalate bonded to said first scrim layer so as to provide an air gap to slow gaseous penetration, and d) a second non-woven scrim layer bonded to said microporous thermoplastic layer to provide an air gap having incorporated therein an anti-microbial agent and anti-toxic chemical agent which is not incorporated in said first scrim layer; e) a microporous thermoplastic layer bonded to said second non-woven scrim layer, and f) a chemically reactive inner layer to tie up and fix toxic chemicals. - View Dependent Claims (17)
