“What would a soldier do if he tore his protective garment in the field?”
This question prompted the BLÜCHER SYSTEMS® team to  develop a special repair kit for CB protective garments.

“What would a soldier do if he tore his protective garment in the field?”
This question prompted the BLÜCHER SYSTEMS® team to  develop a special repair kit for CB protective garments.

There are two different types of repair patches available

Type 1 is applied from the inside to the protective layer.

Type 2 is applied from the outside to the protective layer. After repairing the tear on the liner, a tear on the shell fabric will be fixed by Duct tape.

In order to ensure that the user is still protected against chemical agents, a test with Mustard agent was conducted directly on the patches.

The results prove that the level of protection is not reduced after the application of a repair patch:

TNO Defence, Security and Safety

Test report 05DV4/898/16783/brap

TNO Defence, Security and Safety conducted a Dual Flow Test with Mustard agent on samples that had been repaired with patches:

Shell fabric: repaired with adhesive tape  and Spiratec® Hybrid repaired with BLÜCHER SYSTEMS patches, 3 times washed	< 0,1	< 0,1	< 0,1

Each protective garment includes one repair kit. A short description ensures the correct application of the patches.
