Design and Construction of a Test Apparatus for Simulating Impact and Wear Damage on Nonskid and Other Coatings

Design and Construction of a Test Apparatus for Simulating Impact and Wear Damage on Nonskid and Other Coatings
Available for download

Nonskid coatings are typically used on the flight deck of aircraft carriers and high traffic areas of a ships’ deck. At this time, there are only a few approved materials available for use as nonskid coating for landing areas onboard US Navy vessels. Nonskid coating materials with improved performance, lower cost, and decreased maintenance are currently in development.

Nonskid coatings are typically used on the flight deck of aircraft carriers and high traffic areas of a ships’ deck. At this time, there are only a few approved materials available for use as nonskid coating for landing areas onboard US Navy vessels. Nonskid coating materials with improved performance, lower cost, and decreased maintenance are currently in development. One of the most important requirements for any nonskid coating system is its resistance to degradation or disbondment from mechanical impact and wear induced by the arresting gear cable during aircraft landing operations.  In addition, these coatings must also offer good weathering and corrosion performance characteristics in the harsh marine environment. Currently, there are no suitable devices or standard test procedures available for the impact and wear testing of nonskid coatings to evaluate their performance.  The present paper describes the design and construction of such a device, including the protocol for conducting impact/wear tests.

An Update and Review of Offshore Systems and Current Testing Scenarios

Product Number: 41206-266-SG
Author: Mike Mitchell
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

Offshore coating systems have evolved over the past 50 years to allow for restrictions in raw material use and solvent emissions. This has meant that many tried and tested systems can no longer be used.  This paper describes the industry in terms of attempts to generate suitable prequalification testing scenarios which will prevent premature failures of untried new systems

Effects of Blasting Methods on the Performance of Organic Coatings

Product Number: 41206-267-SG
Author: Andreas W. Momber
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

The effects of three blasting methods utilised for surface preparation upon the behavior of five organic coating systems are investigated. The blasting methods include dry blast cleaning, UHP and UHPAB. It is shown that pull-off strength, pull-off failure mode, and delamination are significantly affected by the surface preparation method.

Characterization of the Surface Mechanical Properties of Paints and Polymeric Surface Coatings

Product Number: 41206-280-SG
Author: Nicholas X. Randall
Publication Date: 2006

The mechanical properties of polymeric coatings are often overlooked because researchers are not aware of how modern instrumentation can now aid them in understanding how a particular product may survive in service conditions. In many applications the two main considerations are aesthetics and durability, both of which can be directly related to the mechanical properties of the base material.
