RE: How to activate Carbon clothing?
ORIGINAL: Arthur P Bloody genius’s wasting your lives arguing about carbon clothing when you could be coming up with things like alternate fuels. What a waste. :D  [8D]

What is it the military is filtering out? Why do they destroy a garment? Or is it what's inside a garment they are destroying? |

More on the subject... With the standard disclaimer than I'm simply providing links to information. You interpret it any way you want, believe or disbelieve as you choose.

YUP Arthur, that I read that TR Michaels thing this morning. Sureis interesting to me.

They will filter "stink" just as well as they filter chemicals. Problem is that if they have been used to filter stink they become ineffective at filtering chemicals or any other kind of contaminate. Just bacause they call it a chemical suit doesn't mean that the carbon only adsorbes hazardous chemicals. The carbon isn't picky. Even if they have been simply left out in the air for days they still get destroyed becasue they can not be reactivated.
Regardless of what they have filtered, once the carbon reaches its adsorbtion capasitythey are ineffective until they have been reactivated and that requires 1400+ degrees of heat to acomplish which would destroy the entire garment. Basically there is no way to reactivate activated carbon clothing with out destroying it. Regardles sof what the carbon has adsorbed. |

Thank you, any nore doubters?

Gentlemen, this is like Deja Vu all over again. While you cannot fully re-activate your carbon suit in a dryer the process does drive off some of the chemicals (stink) adsorbed onto the carbon. This does not render it 100 0/0 re-activated but it does provide additional adsorbtioin capacity.So it works a little,yor odor nuetralizing sprays work a little, the shower and shampoo work a little, your rubber boots work a little, brushing with baking soda works a little. These all add up to small advantages. I'll continue using these products under my outer camo layer!
