A multi-layered flame retardant and chemical resistant composite is described along with methods of making and/or using the same. The composite may be used in protective apparel and/or personal protective ensembles (PPE). The composite may be an engineered textile laminate. The composite may meet NFPA 2113 criteria as an over-garment for NFPA 2112 Flashover protection PPE garments. The composite may provide optimized protection to primary flashover rated PPE, where flames are present, and where chemical hazards are present. |
