High Temperature Survivability Coating Materials with Innovative Application Processes

NAVAIR SBIR Topic N101-041, Development of High Temperature Survivability Coating Materials with Innovative Application Processes, was initiated to address performance shortfalls in coating systems operating in moderate-high temperature environments. The objective was to develop high temperature survivability coating concepts for airframe integration with improved temperature capability and application processes. As a result of research conducted under this SBIR, numerous coating improvements have been achieved for long duration operation in the 350-500F temperature range. The task to be executed under this contract is the development and demonstration of a family of high temperature survivability coating materials for potential application on emerging airframe platforms. The coating systems developed by MAST Technologies on this topic are anticipated to provide Operation and Sustainment (O&S) benefits. As a result of the improved physical properties of the developed materials, implementation of the materials is expected to result in reduced maintenance, improved reliability, and lower O&S costs.
