Scratch Resistant Plastic Windows for M151 Truck

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0780737 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Tests were conducted with scratch resistant plastic window material installed in military vehicle canvas soft-tops in place of the vinyl plastic material in current standard use. The silicone-coated material retained optical clarity in service conditions which included operations over dusty roads and daily washing. The test material was far superior to the vinyl material which degrades optically due to wrinkling, scratching or hazing, and discoloration. The test material is more costly, but this may be offset by increased service life.
