Advanced Deck Covering Materials

Interior decks of naval ships have traditionally been treated with resin and filler systems, which, in the event of an explosion, produce brittle fragmentive projectiles that potentially endanger crew and critical ship systems. PolySpec L.P. has extensive experience developing deck coverings that are well accepted in military and commercial ships. In this feasibility proposal, PolySpec will outline the development a lightweight, resilient, low maintenance, durable interior deck covering system. Composed from a resin-based material, curing agent, and aggregate, this system will couple safety and aesthetics, while meeting naval specifications. Various resin and amine systems will be examined to reach the goals of this proposal. In the event of an explosion, the deck must not fragment into missile projectiles, but remain intact.
