Millstream (Penthouse Systems) Ltd is responsible for introducing a new Chemical Agent Resistant Material, called CARM 2000. This material offers total protection from liquid contamination produced by chemical agent droplets falling through the atmosphere. This makes CARM 2000 highly suitable for protecting vehicles and equipment in any war zone scenario where chemical, bacteriological or nuclear fallout is possible.

It is also ideally suited for many applications within today's modern battlefield environment because it offers the following additional features:

• Flame Retardant
• UV Resistant
• Infra-Red Reflectant (IRR)
• Two colour sided option
• Various camouflage properties.
• Extemely Strong
• Lightweight and easy to handle
• Thermally stable from -40°C to 75°C; a range of 115°C
• Highly resistant to piercing, puncturing or tearing

In addition MPSL has also developed an air/water tight interface which offers the end user full flexibility of the modular system. It has already been procured for various projects by UK MOD.

The following pages give details of the tests which CARM 2000 has been subjected to in order to demonstrate its effectiveness in battlefield conditions.
