Research abstract
Powdermet proposes a program for the development of two hydrophobic coating processes to powders using its expertise in fluid bed chemical vapor deposition (FB-CVD).The coating by CVD of these polymers is already a well-established practice, but new to use in fluid bed particle coating, so the transition is perceived as low risk.The coated particles will then be analyzed and evaluated for their ability to protect the core screening particle from chemical reactivity and oxidation based on coating film thickness.Additionally the coatings onto obscurants will be evaluated by their inter-shear adhesion to ensure dispersion properties are not affected, and all experimental work will be used in an evaluation of coating material and method's economic implementation.A down-selection of coating material and method will then be used for production of a deliverable and trial obscurant product.
