This paper discusses the reasons fogging occurs, tools to minimize it, and also a new development that can both limit fogging and support development of easy-to-open packaging. As a result of this testing, new anti-fog additives were developed and marketed. There were several key challenges that had to be met in the development of this specialty formulation.

Guided by their initiative to develop capabilities that provide additional protection for soldiers while reducing time and logistic requirements,1 the U.S. Army Corps Engineers’ Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Survivability Engineering Branch enlisted the expertise of Edwards Design and Fabrication, an Alabama-based equipment fabricator for commercial and government research and development organizations. Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic- resistant panels that were not only compatible with the required hardware but also met color requirements for better visual cover once deployed.
