Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • CBRNE Weapons
CONT

... CR ... Newer riot control irritant developed in England in 1962 by the British chemists Higginbottom and Suchitzsky. About 5 times more effective than CS [and] much less toxic than CS. CR is not used in its pure form (a yellow powder) but dissolved in a solution of 80 parts of propylene glycol and 20 parts of water to form a 0.1-percent CR solution. It is used in solution as a riot control agent. Eye pain, discomfort and excessive tearing occur with sometimes painful sensitivity to strong light or temporary blindness. Symptoms can persist for 15 to 30 minutes. Dubbed "fire gas" by the media because of the burning sensation it caused to the skin of rioters when used in Northern Ireland from 1973-1974. Authorized U.S. Army use in 1974.

CONT

CR gas or dibenzoxazepine... is an incapacitating agent and a lachrymatory agent.... CR is a pale yellow crystalline solid with a pepper-like odour. It is slightly soluble in water and does not degrade in it. CR is usually presented as a microparticulate solid, in the form of suspension in a propylene glycol based liquid. Contrary to its common name, it is not actually a gas but is solid at room temperature.

CONT

Les gaz lacrymogènes les plus courants sont les irritants oculaires CS, CN, CR et l'irritant respiratoire «piment OC» en aérosol.

CONT

Le gaz CR a été découvert en 1962 au Royaume-Uni, où il est aujourd'hui stocké aux côtés du gaz CS et d'autres agents. Il serait six fois plus irritant que le gaz CS et 30 fois plus que le gaz CN; c'est un puissant irritant cutané.

Record 4 2006-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Technical Textiles
DEF

[A textile which is] intended to shield the user from fine particulate matter or liquids.

CONT

Barrier textiles, such as poly-reinforced or microporous membrane reinforced gowns and drapes, are necessary in cases of high risk of contamination by infectious or toxic materials. The protection from the infectious or toxic substances in barrier fabrics is primarily bases on physical properties of the fabric, which do not permit passage of fine particulate matter or liquids through them. However, barrier materials may also be capable or removing a viable infectious agent(e. g. virus) from a suspension by binding the agent particles or by inactivating them.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Textiles techniques
CONT

Le linge de bloc opératoire [...] qui présente des exigences en terme de qualité microbiologique, mais aussi particulaire (textile barrière).
