This CID covers the physical, chemical, and performance characteristics of the composite material used to make insulating pads for use on the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) series of vehicles and for other similar applications. The insulating pads are used as a thermal, sound, and vibration barrier. The insulating pad is made of five layers of material consisting of the following components: a deep twist outer vinyl wear surface with a cloth reinforcement backing; a sound barrier layer; a closed cell acoustical and thermal foam insulation layer; a high temperature needle mat thermal blanket layer; and a fiberglass cloth reinforced vinyl and mylar backing (see figure 1).
