Research abstract
This project will develop a polysulfide based coating system that can be sprayapplied to marginally sound coatings that are coating steel substrates. Thecoating will be high solids, preferrably 100% solids, to minimize its environmentalimpact due to VOCs. The coating will have a low cure stress to aid in the adhesion.The adhesion of the coating system will be such that it will be able to wet out mostcommon coatings already in use by the Navy.The coating will be able to adhere to most coatings used on Navy structures. Thecure stress will be very low minimizing the chance of lifting a marginally soundcoating system previously installed on the steel.The finalized system will expand our product line to include a process that ourcustomer base is looking for.
