This NACE/EFC standard is considered as the basis for the cleaning, surface preparation, and application of paint and coating systems to Navy ships used in marine environments for New Build, and during Life Cycle maintenance and permanent repair. It is intended for use by naval corrosion control personnel, coating applicators, and coating manufacturers. It covers coating materials, coating test protocol and acceptance criteria, surface preparation, coating application, quality assurance and control, and repair methods. Its purpose is to facilitate more effective corrosion protection of Navy ships and support inter-operability requirements by presenting reliable information and providing guidelines for coating manufacturers and shipyards to develop more durable specifications.
This standard replaces NATO Allied Engineering Publication (AEP) 59.
Key Words: NATO, AEP, surface preparation, coating application, quality assurance, quality control
Corrosion is one of the leading maintenance costs across the United States Surface Navy, with approximately 25 cents of every dollar spent on maintenance going towards fighting or correcting corrosion. In addition to the huge financial burden, corrosion can limit the ability of our Navy’s ships to meet operational commitments and even prevent them from achieving their expected service life (ESL).

Polymeric interior and exterior marine decking systems provide both decorative and functional protection for ships, aircraft carriers, and offshore drilling platforms. Interior decking systems includes coatings, color flake and quartz systems, terrazzo, and underlayments, which are applied in areas such as galleys, living quarters, and wet spaces.
Qualified U.S. Navy nonskid coatings are two-component (2K) epoxy-based systems that contain various sizes of aggregate. Once mixed, these highly viscous coatings are applied using a napless roller to generate a “peak and valley” profile that provides skid/slip-resistance when cured. The roll-application process is slow and inconsistent, and appearance is often determined by experience of the applicator.
