Protective Covers
Even the most rugged equipment deteriorates when exposed to the elements, putting readiness at risk and increasing maintenance costs. Protective covers are a proven and cost-effective line of defense against mold, mildew, and corrosion.
Utilizing highly technical textiles, Cocoon covers meet all the requirements of the AMRDEC Protective Cover Performance Specification, including air-permeability which prevents the “greenhouse effect” (which can actually accelerate corrosion). See below for a full list of features.
Cocoon Covers
can be used for:
Vehicles
Aircraft
Artillery
Ground Support Equipment
Watercraft
Technology in a textile.
Cocoon’s patented covers represent a major breakthrough in cover performance, making them essential equipment for your essential equipment. Key features include:
Highly Air-Permeable (not just “breathable”)
Hydrophobic (wet weight = dry weight)
Oleophobic (repels fluids, oils, fuels)
No use of VCI chemicals (potentially harmful to soldier health)

Cocoon Protective Cover Features
While each feature is important on its own, the combination of all features is required to ensure a protective cover will be truly effective.
“The use of equipment covers has been found to enhance corrosion-resistance of equipment by reducing exposure to things such as temperature, relative humidity, sulfur dioxide deposition, chloride ion deposition, and ultraviolet rays.”

Example Applications
Corrosion affects every kind of critical asset, which is why we cover everything from rotary wing aircraft and GSE to vehicles and weapon systems.
