Research abstract
The solvent-based epoxy primers per MIL-PRF-23377 and urethane topcoats per MIL-PRF-85285 Type I are widely used on military aircraft. The primers currently are allowed to have a maximum volatile organic compound (VOC) emission of 340g/l and 420g/l for the topcoats. The solvents used in the coatings are the primary source for the VOC. Some solvents are also classified as hazardous pollutants (HAPS). The increasingly stringent federal, state and local environmental regulations restrict the VOC content of all the coatings used in all areas. Both military and aerospace are included. The objective is to study and identify fast cure and low viscosity resins/curatives for zero VOC epoxy primers. Also, attempt to use UV cure technology for zero VOC urethane topcoats.
