 The presence of rust staining on surface ship topside and freeboard areas has been a continuing cosmetic problem for the U.S. Naval Fleet. In an effort to maintain the appearance of a well maintained ship, the U.S. Navy is estimated to expend more than $1.0M annually on silicone alkyd topside coatings, governed by Navy specification MIL-PRF-24635, purely for cosmetic over-coating purposes.1 With the introduction of polysiloxane topside coatings, cleaning becomes a viable and more cost effective alternative to aesthetic re-coating due to polysiloxane’s cleanability, toughness, superior color retention, gloss retention, and service life compared to the current silicone alkyd coatings.

An effort was executed, to leverage the inherent benefits of polysiloxane coatings, to investigate, to assess or develop, and to implement an effective corrosion stain remover in the Navy with the focus of reducing both maintenance costs and time. Novel evaluation techniques were developed to accurately detect and quantify the performance of stain removers on polysiloxane coatings in both laboratory and shipboard tests. Lessons learned during field demonstrations were used to create, develop, and implement polysiloxane cleaning processes for Ship’s Force to follow with assistance from the U.S. Navy Corrosion Control Assistance Team. Recent shipboard demonstrations have proven that significant cost avoidance can be realized through a reduction in maintenance time, annual maintenance costs, topside weight, and hazardous waste. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to reduce the impact on maintenance by eliminating and overcoming the cosmetic overcoat paradigm through this effort, allowing the Navy to realize the projected extended service life from the polysiloxane topside coatings.

This paper will consider the performance and relevance to static situations of the key types of Cathodic dip painting (CDP) Antifoulings (Rosin Modified types), the current tin free polishing types (typically acrylates of various types), and low energy surface types. Both field experience and laboratory work will be considered.

In ship's ballast tanks, most of coating failures (and corrosion attacks) were observed on sharp steel edges, welds seams and weld spatters. One solution is to employ high solid coating material with less tendency to flow away from edges. In this study, two coatings  are selected and evaluated in terms of their edge retention ability.

Conference Paper - This paper describes the requirements of the standard, additional inspection points, and several uses of the standard in the field where clear specification language was imperative to successful project completion. NACE 5/SSPC-SP 12 standard confined to water jetting - which makes use of ultra-high pressure water that is nonabrasive.  Four levels of visible post-cleaning condition and three levels of non-visible condition are defined.
