Hi Doug,

I know about this spec and we could not help. I do wonder however, if some of the latest UV durables might work?

On another side-issue, I was asked if we could deliver NBC survivable (proof) materials. That was something we could help with, NBC warfare? No problem. Skydrol? Nah. 

I’d be curious if you do find something.

Graham
