inches, is hemmed on all four sides, and has a grommet in each
corner. The blanket is composed of a glass fiber yarn with a
layer of metallized polyester film on one side and a layer of
blue polyethylene film on the other side.
The Emergency Solar Blanket is also designed to provide
emergency protection from the elements. This blanket measures 50
by 80 inches. Unlike the Deluxe Solar Blanket above, the
Emergency Solar Blanket is not advanced beyond sheet form, and
has neither hems nor grommets. The Emergency Solar Blanket is
composed of a metallized polyester film.

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
