Moisture vapor permeable and washable material for chemical, biological, radiation, and/or nuclear protection

A protective garment, the protective garment comprising:

• a protective fabric, the protective fabric comprising:
• a textile substrate;
• a monolithic moisture vapor permeable polymer membrane extending over at least a portion of the textile substrate, the monolithic moisture vapor permeable polymer membrane being joined to the textile substrate with a first discontinuous adhesive film;
• and
• a catalytic layer and a catalytic neutralization layer extending over the monolithic moisture vapor permeable polymer membrane, the catalytic layer and the catalytic neutralization layer being collectively configured to degrade potentially hazardous compounds into non-lethal products and dissipate the same into surrounding environment.

A process for manufacturing a protective fabric, the process comprising:

• preparing first composition components;
• dispensing the first composition components on a monolithic moisture vapor permeable polymer membrane extending over at least a portion of the textile substrate and curing the same at a temperature ranging between about 100° C. to about 180° C. to obtain a catalytic layer;
• preparing second composition components;
• and
• dispensing the second composition components on the catalytic layer and curing the same at a temperature between about of 100° C. to about 220° C. to obtain a catalytic neutralization layer.
