A coated fabric suitable for use in an anti-ballistic article comprises a fabric comprising at least a first layer of high tenacity yarns such as para-aramid arranged parallel with each other and at least a second layer of high tenacity yarns arranged parallel with each other, the yarns of the first layer having an orientation in a direction that is different from the orientation of the yarns in the second layer, a fluoropolymer, a viscoelastic resin and a thermoset or thermoplastic binding layer, the binding layer being positioned between the first and second layers of yarns. A method of making the surfactant free coated fabric using a non-polar organic solvent is also disclosed. |
