why?



If you look at the Warwick Mills Inc. Patent No. US20140030483A1 (https://www.google.com/patents/US20140030483) and compare it to the article (http://specialtyfabricsreview.com/articles/1014_f1_reclaiming_industry.html), then you will see what the tent materials are really made of.

The article states:

Warwick Mills Inc., New Ipswich, N.H., is working on a variety of lightweight applications for protective gear, including developing chemical and biological tent materials that weigh 11 ounces, “which is very light,” says Jenny Houston, executive vice president of Warwick Mills. “The material has to act as a barrier plus be able to have all the performance of a tent outer shell. We developed it through a combination of weaving, coating, lamination and adhesion to deliver those properties.”



The patent I linked to above is named "Multi-layer chemical and biological protection fabric for mobile shelters", and it states:

A lightweight, low bulk, mobile CB shelter fabric includes a high tensile strength woven scrim laminated between two thin CB-impenetrable polymer films. Laminate adhesives can include isocyanate adhesion promotors. Coatings can be applied to the films for camouflage, increased light opacity, increased CB protection, sun, fire, and weather resistance. Lamination heat and pressure can cause the films to conform and bond through the scrim, while a pre-applied coating does not flow and remains uniform in thickness. The resulting fabric weight can be approximately 50% of conventional CB fabrics. The films can be hard-drawn polymers. A coating of hammer milled kaolin clay can provide increased light opacity. The films can be 1 micron thick, and can be nylon, aliphatic nylon, urethane, or poly-ether.



The patent then goes on to state later:

The weight of each layer is indicated in the figure, providing a total weight of 11.2 oz/yd^2.



I think it is pretty obvious that the tent material that the article is referring to is the material listed in this patent which does not mention MS by name or description at all. The patent info for the PPE in the article has yet to be published publicly, so it still remains a possibility that it is utilizing MS.
