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.

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.
Common methods of maintenance painting either involve complete removal of existing paint (SSPC-SP 10) or localized preparation using power tools (SSPC-SP 3). Sometimes an intermediate level of surface preparation may be performed by allowing intact tightly adherent coating to remain. Abrasive blasting may be used to prepare either localized areas, or to partially prepare the entire surface, allowing well-adhered aged coating to remain.
The purpose of this document is to introduce Corrosion Control Information Management System (CCIMS), a US Navy partnership success story used to plan maintenance on ships to include assessment tracking, data analysis facilitation, repair/overhaul work planning and future maintenance needs forecasting.
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).
Feathering is the process of tapering or blending-in an existing intact coating in preparation of applying a new repair coating. This industry common practice is intended to ensure good adhesion of the repair coating to the legacy coating, and to provide a seamless aesthetic transition for areas where maintenance painting is performed. There are no industry standard requirements for performing feathering, resulting in most specifications having their own unique definition.
Improved holiday detection of new coatings can increase a coating’s service life. This paper describes development of a fast, compact and portable holiday detector based on imaging of fluorescent coatings that is designed for ballast tanks inspection on Navy ships.
Recent US Navy and NSRP projects have explored alternative inspection techniques for evaluating flash rust on waterjetted surfaces. This paper will summarize investigations into new inspection techniques which have been performed over the past few years.
The NSRP Surface Preparation & Coatings (SP&C) Panel 2018 Update
The paper is an overview of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coating Panel’s (SP&C) mission to reduce the cost of construction, maintenance, and repair of US Navy ships. The Panel’s “Specs to Decks” approach; research, evaluate, develop, and sustain current and emerging technologies that will reduce cost and maintain or enhance quality, serves as a rudder that guides the Panel’s performance.
